Troubleshooting Angular 7 Routing Issues in Internet Explorer 11

When developing an Angular application, ensuring smooth navigation through routing is crucial for a good user experience. However, some developers encounter unexpected issues, especially when using browsers like Internet Explorer 11 (IE 11). If you've found that routing and navigation in your Angular 7 application work perfectly in Chrome, Firefox, and Safari, but not in IE 11, you’re not alone. This guide will walk you through understanding the problem and provide reliable solutions to fix it.

Understanding the Problem

The issue primarily arises when using <a> tags inside <button> elements for navigation. In IE 11, clicking on a button can trigger the button's click event rather than the link within it. This leads to the routing not functioning correctly.

Example Configuration

To give you context, here's a simplified representation of the routing setup in your Angular application:

The buttons in app.component.html look similar to this:

With these configurations, users on IE 11 face issues navigating between pages, leading to potential frustration.

Solutions to Fix the Issue

Here are three methods you can implement to resolve the routing problem in IE 11:

Method 1: Use <div> Instead of <button>

One simple approach is to replace your <button> tags with <div> tags. Since <div> does not interfere with button click events, this change allows the routing to work seamlessly.

Method 2: Encapsulate <button> Inside <a>

Another method is to place the <button> tag inside the <a> tag. By doing this, clicking the button will correctly trigger the hyperlink's click event, allowing for proper navigation.

Method 3: Use jQuery for Event Handling

If you prefer to keep the existing structure, consider using jQuery to manually trigger the hyperlink click event when the button is clicked. Although this method may feel less efficient, it can be a workaround if you are unable to change the HTML structure significantly.

Conclusion

Navigating in Angular applications should be smooth, regardless of the browser being used. With IE 11's quirky behaviors, implementing one of the above solutions will resolve routing issues effectively, allowing your users to navigate through your Angular 7 application without any hiccups.

Feel free to test each method and choose the one that best fits your project. Happy coding!
