"State" field missing in registration

[Bors]

It searched around and it looks like it's a problem that popped up in the past but was supposedly fixed.

 

I'm using 1.4.6.2 and the new Presta 1.4.5 theme. In IE9 and Firefox everithing is peachy, but bad old IE8 is missing the "State" field when customers try to register an acount. That's a little disheartening, when 30% of people on the internet are supposedly still hanging on IE8.

 

Anyone else having this issue or a solution for it?

I think your percentages are a little off http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_explorer.asp

 

IE doesn't even get 30% total

As glad as I am that use of XP and IE8 is going down, I'd still very much like/need a tip on a fix, if possible.

I personally haven't encountered this problem but if you will post a link I will have a look at the site and see if I can determine why the field is missing.

Has anyone determined the cause of this problem or come up with a fix yet?

As far as I can tell, this only occurs with users of IE8.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

In your_shop/themes/your_theme/authentication.tpl

 

At the line 33 until 35 replace:

countries = new Array();

countriesNeedIDNumber = new Array();

countriesNeedZipCode = new Array();

 

with

 

var countries = new Array();

var countriesNeedIDNumber = new Array();

var countriesNeedZipCode = new Array();

I found this solution (added to the var one):

 

go to su domain.com/theme/default/js/statesManagement.js comment this line (nr.36):

[to comment put // before the word "console"]:

 

Before:

console.log($('select#id_

state'+(suffix !== undefined ? '_'+suffix : '')+' option:not(:first-child)'));

 

After:

 

//console.log($('select#id_

state'+(suffix !== undefined ? '_'+suffix : '')+' option:not(:first-child)'));

 

it works for me! Happy to share!
