Website breaks in IE9 but works when Developer Tools is opened

This is my website, eTraining. It works good on Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer 10. But on IE 9, the Tag Cloud on the front page doesn't show up, but when I open Developers Tool (F12) and refresh the page, it works. It is kind of weird bug to me.

I don't know what is causing this error. I assume it is because of Doctype declaration.

I have used this on the top of the code.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />

Can anyone help me?

Solution

  • Do you have any console.log() in your code? IE < 9 does not expose the console object unless the developer tool is open. For further details see Does IE9 support console.log, and is it a real function?
