Messages

This web application uses deprecated XML data islands.

Background

Since Windows Internet Explorer 11, Microsoft has dropped support for data islands. In order to provide improved interoperability and compliance with HTML5, data islands are now parsed as HTML. This means that XML data islands are now parsed as HTML. This change can impact pages written exclusively for Windows Internet Explorer or pages that use browser sniffing to alter their behavior in Internet Explorer.

Resolution

The following resolutions are available. Note that this issue is not resolved automatically by default.

Manual Fix

The web application should be re-engineered to use other technologies instead of XML data islands. Alternatively, meta tags can be used to define document compatibility with Internet Explorer 11.

Basic Auto Fix

No resolution is available.

Advanced Auto Fix

No resolution is available.
