How to fix Internet Explorer 11 Login

[incanuskafre]

Hello,
  I'm thinking in a quick fix for IE11 login problem. I've read this links:

http://www.nczonline.net/blog/2013/07/02/internet-explorer-11-dont-call-me-ie/

With firebug, I've found this piece of code:

var isIE=(navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE")!=-1)

I think that overriding this fragment, and setting something like this could work:

var isIE=(navigator.product.indexOf("Gecko")!=-1)

Anyone has tried something similar?

i ended up changing internet explorer's user agent string to include "MSIE 10.0". This fixes login problem, but may introduce other problems.

I successfully could fix it using the workaround found at http://ecm.vsemozny.cz/2013/12/tip-alfresco-share-problem-with-login.html. Compared to the original post I only removed the id and left the class. My patchfile now looks like this:

diff –git a/tomcat/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/site-webscripts/org/alfresco/components/guest/login.get.html.ftl b/tomcat/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/site-webscripts/org/alfresco/components/guest/login.get.html.ftl

I'm using this workaround with the 4.2.f community edition and I didn't discover additional problems with the share interface right now (the login button turns to grey, but this is acceptable for everybody I think…)
Visit http://localhost:8080/share/page/index and click "Refresh Web Scripts" for the change to take effect.
