[LON-CAPA-admin] Plotfunctionresponse and IE 11

[Stuart Raeburn]

Mark,

> Is anyone else having problems with Plotfunctionresponse problems and IE11?

Yes, I observe the same with functionpltresponse on IE11 on Windows 8.1.

Accordingly, I have committed a one line change to the code used to  
determine whether the HTML5/javascript version of Geogebra or the Java  
applet version should be used.  This change will cause IE11 to use the  
Java applet.

To update 2.11.0 with that change, from the command line on your server(s) do:

wget -O /home/httpd/lib/perl/Apache/functionplotresponse.pm  
'http://source.loncapa.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/loncom/homework/functionplotresponse.pm?rev=1.106;content-type=text/plain'

/etc/init.d/httpd reload

Note: by making this change, checkforupdates.pl (run by cron) will now  
detect a version change in functionplotresponse.pm (as compared with  
the version included in 2.11.0), and will send a daily e-mail because  
of that discrepancy.

Firefox and Safari are likely using the HTML5 version, but see:  
http://mail.lon-capa.org/pipermail/lon-capa-dev/2013-July/002043.html  
for information about version/OS checking).
