I am using CRM 2016, these errors are seen after migrating from CRM 2015, the same code works fine with CRM 2015, and I use IE 11 versions.

Few solutions online suggest that i use <meta http-equiv =”X-UA-Compatible” content =”IE = edge” />, but this doesnt solve any problem.
Rather, the changes i had to do these were in CRMWEB folder on the server machine.


I did come across a solution in https://carstengroth.wordpress.com/tag/script/ which asks to modify <EnableContextualActions>false</EnableContextualActions>. 
MSDN suggests this is only for Internal use in the FORMXML.

Any suggestions and solutions are welcome and thanks in Advance.

    kindly share your code.

    in CRM 2016 you can't addevents i guess so instead of changing anything in CRM go for workaround

    Hello,

    Please check your old code. CRM 2016 has been limited for using DOM in javascript. It is not recommended, please try other way, you can check new event for control in CRM 2016.

    Please also share you code and your situation for more investigating.

    Regards,
