  • Article

*** Update November 2011 *** With the recent release of Project Server Service Pack 1 and recent IE9 updates, Project 2010 is now fully compatible with IE9

Internet Explorer (IE) 9 was launched on Monday, March 14th. We have been working very closely with the Internet Explorer (IE) team to ensure that our customers can take advantage of all the great new features that the new IE release offers. After testing the different versions of Microsoft Project Server with IE 9, here is an update on IE 9 support status:

  • Project Server 2010 was tested and supports IE 9.
  • The main scenarios and functionalities of Project Server 2007 Service Pack 2 were tested and support IE 9. Project Server 2007 SP1 and Project Server 2007 may also support IE 9.
  • The main scenarios and functionalities of Project Portfolio Server 2007 Service Pack 2 were tested and support IE 9. Project Portfolio Server 2007 SP1 and Project Portfolio Server 2007 may also support IE 9.

There is a small known issue with editing some of the grids in Project Server 2007 and Project Server 2010. When the entire contents of an editable cell are deleted, that cell becomes un-editable until the page is refreshed. Therefore, when modifying the content of a cell, you must ensure that all the content of the cell is not completely removed. To completely replace the contents of the cell, select the whole text and replace that with the new string. This issue affects the grid on the following pages:
