# Dynamic width Internet Explorer

 * Before you say anything: I know IE is obsolete and anyone who still expects websites
   to be compatible with it is just plain unreasonable. Unfortunately my client 
   is unreasonable and I need to find a workaround.
 * I’ve got a Mega Menu set to dynamic width, linked to a specific element on the
   page (which itself is responsive). This works beautifully in all browsers except–
   surprise surprise – good old Internet Explorer, where when I inspect the mega-
   sub-menu element, I don’t see JS resizing it automatically, as it does in Chrome
   and the others. As a result, the sub menu is squashed to the size of the parent
   menu.
 * My first question is: why? The second one: how do I resolve this selectively 
   for IE, without having to rework the whole layout?
 * It needs to be responsive, so fixed sizes won’t do.
 * Thanks

 * Hi webrightnow,
 * Have you checked for JavaScript errors in the console? (specifically in IE)

 * Yes, IE console shows no JS errors.

 * Hi webrightnow,
 * I’ve checked in IE using BrowserStack and I see the menu keeps the ‘mega-no-js’
   class (it should be removed as soon as the JavaScript is applied to the menu):
 * [⌊2020-09-24_10-26-13⌉⌊2020-09-24_10-26-13⌉[
 * As you say, there are no errors in the console, but there must be something else
   happening which is preventing the JS from being applied (the plugin does work
   in IE in theory, you can check megamenu.com).
 * I think you’ll need to debug “the old IE way” – disable all plugins, strip back
   as much as possible, look to see when it starts working, then try to detect exactly
   what is causing the issue. Unfortunately I can’t pinpoint the issue using the
   browser alone.
 * Regards,
    Tom

 * Ok thanks, I think I’ll explain to the client that this can potentially be a 
   lot of work to debug, as the site is live so I’d have to do all this on a cloned
   site. I’m also not terribly confident that I’d ever get to the bottom of it that
   way, and besides all plugins are needed so disabling any of them isn’t really
   an option, even if they are somehow conflicting. Meanwhile I told them to tell
   customers to just use an up to date browser.

 * Update: straight after my last post I tried Internet Explorer on a different 
   machine, and the console there was showing a JS error I hadn’t seen before, caused
   by the Popup Maker plugin. I updated the plugin, and it looks like the Megamenu
   JS is loading properly now. Not sure why two different versions of the browser
   would have different consoles, but at least it’s fixed. Thanks.
