Does websocket not work with IWebBrowser2::Navigate?

I am writing small html websocket application. This html page works fine at IE window but if same page is tried to open using IWebBrowser2::Navigate then it throws an error "WebSocket is undefined" in standard java script error message box. Following is sample javascript code:

function myFunction()
{

    ws = new WebSocket("ws://" + "127.0.0.1"+ "8070" +"/" + "NSCOMString");
}

Could you please let me whether websocket is implemented inside the navigate method?

Solution

  • The IWebBrowser2 control by default runs in compatibility mode, see this article on the IEBlog for details on how to circumvent this behavior.
