The new version of Internet Explorer (IE9) was released yesterday. One of the 3rd-party javascript libraries (called Ext JS) that we use in NoodleBib has not yet released their IE9-compatibility updates. So if you have (a) upgraded to IE9 and (b) don’t have (and can’t download) an alternative browser like Firefox or Chrome that you can use for now, the temporary solution is to enable “Compatibility view” in IE9.

To turn on “Compatibility view” do the following:
- Turn on the IE “Menu bar” (right-click on the window header, and choose “Menu bar” from the menu)
- Select “Tools” from the Menu Bar and then click “Compatibility view settings…”
- Add noodletools.com to the list of sites there

Now when you navigate to NoodleBib and log in, you should see a checkmark next to “Compatibility view” when you open up the Tools menu again. We’ll update this post once changes are in place to support IE9 in the default mode.

August 2011 Update: We’ve worked out the kinks with IE9, so there should no longer be any need to turn on Compatibility view when using NoodleBib. Please feel free to e-mail if you come across anything that doesn’t look quite right in IE9 (but that works normally in other browsers).
