[$sce:iequirks] Strict Contextual Escaping does not support Internet Explorer version < 9 in quirks mode

Question

Once I upgrade AngularJS from 1.0.7 to 1.2.0rc1 I get the following error:

[$sce:iequirks] Strict Contextual Escaping does not support Internet Explorer vers         


        

Answer 1

From the github issue related to this problem - $sce does not support IE7 in standards mode.

The minimum bar for $sce is IE8 in standards mode. IE7 standards mode is not supported. If you must support IE7, you should disable $sce completely.

To disable $sce:

angular.module('ie7support', []).config(function($sceProvider) {
  // Completely disable SCE to support IE7.
  $sceProvider.enabled(false);
});

This has been answered, but somebody might find this useful: in IE(8) turn off Compatibility View - that "broken page" icon after address bar
