Tip #1250: Forms won’t load in Chrome

With Joel being busy or lazy, I’m claiming credit for that one even though I have nothing to do with it.

Problem: Classic UI [allegedly – t.j.] has an issue in v8.x where Chrome will just keep ‘spinning’ on some of the forms without returning anything.

Solution: Add an empty JS file to the form.

Explanation: Forms with no custom JS may not properly initialize the OOB script objects. Obviously a Microsoft/Chrome issue but, in a pinch, add an empty js file and that tells Dynamics to go initialize all javascript objects (including its own).

Joel trying to be funny: Legacy form rendering also works if you’re feeling destructive.

Time to upgrade: Unified interface doesn’t have this issue
