Participate IE11 errors on EDIT(remove re-direct on IE)

[MartijnR]

In my understanding editing an existing record is completely broken in IE. Hence the redirect. Not so?

[rooney]

@MartijnR OK then

I've updated the commit, the redirect has been restored and now only the error message updated for clarity.

Let me know if it's good now or if you have other tought?

[MartijnR]

I'd prefer to keep it as is, for 2 reasons:

1. I am very reluctant to add new strings (or change existing strings) unless really really necessary/valuable. We have volunteers for about 20 languages now, and it's hard to get people to update translations. I want to stick to changing/adding strings only when really necessary to not discourage them.
2. IE is on its way out, so this seems too much customization just for those few IE users. Plus the current message is not incorrect.

If you really want this customization in the OC EE port, then I recommend adding the strings to the jade template instead. This will make merging much easier (and I assume that OC, doesn't want to duplicate translation efforts, and accept that this will only be in English).

Hey @MartijnR,

Can we make a list of what is exactly broken so we can fix it?

Thank you

The only non-style issues I'm aware of is that loading (i.e. merging into the default model) any record (draft record, or submitted-record-to-edit) fails with an exception on IE11. That would be the one to fix.

It's only been described here: kobotoolbox#352, and probably occurs in the mergeXML library: https://github.com/hareko/js-merge-xml, which would then be the place to fix it.

I spend some time on it myself, but gave up.

However, there may be very well be other undiscovered issues in IE11.
