Hi,

When I test the ajax example in IE8, the column A is not read. I did some tests on my side with two different files, and I have the same behavior.

Any idea why?

Thanks

@Aymkdn can you share a screenshot of the view in IE8 as well as in chrome?

@Aymkdn sorry for asking, since I'm not in front of a windows machine ATM, can you check http://oss.sheetjs.com/js-xls/ajax.html in IE8 and see if the same thing happens?

It doesn't work at all. There is an error "Object doesn't support this property or method".
This is due to :
function keys(o) { return Object.keys(o); }

Object.keys doesn't exist for IE8.

You might want to use a polyfill for it.
Or to call <script src="//polyfill.io/"></script> that will provide all available polyfill for the current browser.
However, even with that, there is another error due to Uint8Array that doesn't exist with IE8 and there is no polyfill for that one...

Not sure why GH didn't automatically close the issue, oh well
