spring roo(gvnix) not working in ie

Question

I created one simple project(creating users) using spring roo( gvnix) and deployed in tomcat7 and while browsing in chrome and microsoft edge it is working fine but while browsing in IE(11). The top fixed menu is not displaying. Below is my index.jspx code.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<div xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" xmlns:spring="http://www.springframework.org/tags" xmlns:util="urn:jsptagdir:/WEB-INF/tags/jquery/util" version="2.0">
    <jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8"/>
    <jsp:output omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
    <spring:message code="application_name" htmlEscape="false" var="app_name"/>
    <spring:message arguments="${app_name}" code="welcome_titlepane" htmlEscape="false" var="title"/>

        <div class="jumbotron">
            <h1><spring:message arguments="${app_name}" code="welcome_h3"/></h1>
            <p><spring:message code="welcome_text"/></p>
        </div>

</div>

Could you please let me know where I am wrong?

Answer 1

I had same problem and solved it.

Go to WEB-INF/layouts/default.jspx

Set <jsp:output doctype-root-element="html" doctype-system="about:legacy-compat"/>

instead of

<jsp:output doctype-root-element="HTML" doctype-system="about:legacy-compat"/>

and comment:

<!-- <meta content="IE=8" http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible"/>  --> 

Let me know if this fix the problem
