SharePoint 2013: Object doesn't support property or method 'querySelector'

-
Hi,

It is unfortunate to share that SharePoint 2013 is not supported by <IE8 browser versions. In case you got this error: "Object doesn't support property or method 'querySelector' " while loading the site page that means you have to go to new version of browser.

This error encounters because of init.js file under layouts scripts which uses the java script query selector as shown below:

So getting rid of this error is impossible as Microsoft never checked IE7 compatibility while releasing this new version of SharePoint 2013. In case your customers are bound to use this browser then you have to coordinate with Microsoft guy to handle this issue.

I am not sure but there is one another way to get rid of this. Some people have used some tools like sizzle for same.

    Hi Mohammad,

    As SP is not supporting IE7, so I didn't tried to find the solution. But if you find any solution then please share.

-
Hi Guys, I recently experienced the migration from SharePoint 2010 to 2013. I was earlier hiding Ribbon using the SPSecurityTrimmedControl and CSS. But in SP 2013 MS has divided whole ribbon in two section: s4-ribbonrow and suiteBar Hiding the ribbon is as much as easier as it was in 2010 version. But here we just need to take care of above two mentioned sections. I have gone thorough some of the blogs where people are saying that we have change the html file(Seattle.html or oslo.html) and design manger will take care of creating master page for you (ref: Hide Ribbon ). But there is another traditional way of doing same, follow the given steps: 1) Open the master page file in the SharePoint designer. 2) Add the style tag to hide the ribbon for all the user: #s4-ribbonrow, #suiteBar { display : none; } 3) Now we have to do some more changes so that at least system account can access the ribbon. Find out the <div id="s4-ribbonrow"> tag. 4) Insert the following code insi...
