People picker Browser Compatability Issue

3 comments






People Picker is not working on computers that have IE 11 installed

Unfortunately this is a known issue with People Picker and IE Version 11 and probably 10 as well.

Recently i came across a situation where am not able to work with people picker in IE 11 but am able to open the same thing in IE 9 and other browsers as well. So i started trying to identify the issue .

anyhow i will explain you how to fix it but this is a short-term solution. If Microsoft comes up with solution then we can go ahead .


Title       : People Picker Compatibility issue in IE 11 Browser .
