  Alexander,
  
  I loaded DFFS v4.365 today into my new SP2013 site, and I used the JSLink option (for the first time). It works perfect in Firefox, but not in IE11.
  
  In IE I get the overlay, which times out, and I don’t see the setup button when I click to hide the overlay. I see this error in the console:
  
  SCRIPT438: Object doesn’t support property or method ‘attachEvent’
  File: init.js, Line: 1, Column: 81008
  
  When I change emulation in the developers tool to IE10 it works fine.
  
  Thanks!

  This error is not from DFFS. Does the form render without this error if you remove the DFFS_Loader field from your list?

  Yes, the default form renders without the DFFS_Loader field. I added the field back into the list and now the overlay never quits spinning.

    Never mind the second part, the overlay did stop and I got the “This took forever” message.

  Just an update… I had changed the DOCTYPE declaration in my seattle master page to a simple HTML5 one, but when I changed it back to the default, it still failed in IE11 but worked in IE10 emulation, Chrome and Firefox.

  Ok, after several days of undisciplined trial and error, the following combination seems to work:
  
  – SP 2013 seattle.master
  – IE11
  – HTML5 doctype: <!DOCTYPE html>
  – IE10 meta tag: <meta http-equiv=”X-UA-Compatible” content=”IE=10″/>
  – This script in my master page: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18829292/object-doesnt-support-this-property-or-method-error-in-ie11
  
  Thanks!

  Hi,
  I’m sorry for not replying earlier. I’m glad you figured it out. I’ll see if I can figure out what could cause this, but I haven’t had any other report on this issue so I don’t currently know what it could be.

  Oh, I should have mentioned this in my last reply. This has nothing to do with your scripts.
  
  I didn’t know that at first because I encountered it while trying to setup DFFS, but its an IE11/SharePoint compatibility issue widely reported online. There is apparently no solution from Microsoft, but some work arounds have been posted by users.
  
  Thanks!
