[OpenLayers-Users] OpenLayers and IE11 wfs

[Ralph Dell]

A few weeks ago I posted a problem that I was having with IE11, didn't hear anything back and was able to code an awkward work around for my specific issue

Well yesterday I realized I was having a similar issue with the GetFeature control

I found this solution on the OpenLayers developer list. Thank you Stephen Battey. I am posting it here to make the answer more widely available

We override the write method in the OpenLayers.Format.XML class. After the XML has been generated we do a search-replace on the rogue text in the XML namespace.

Here is the code we run after OpenLayers has loaded:
var _class = OpenLayers.Format.XML;

var originalWriteFunction = _class.prototype.write;

var patchedWriteFunction = function()
{
        var child = originalWriteFunction.apply( this, arguments );

        // NOTE: Remove the rogue namespaces as one block of text.
        //       The second fragment "NS1:" is too small on its own and could cause valid text (in, say, ogc:Literal elements) to be erroneously removed.
        child = child.replace( new RegExp( 'xmlns:NS1="" NS1:', 'g' ), '' );

        return child;
}

_class.prototype.write = patchedWriteFunction;
