Hi, I’ve seen a few of these posts on here but nothing that’s been able to help me. I’m able to open up a plotly chart I make in Chrome, but it just comes up blank in IE. I’m working in Python

Example below. I’m using Plotly version 4.0.0

import plotly.graph\_objects as go  
import plotly  
import numpy as np

N = 100  
random\_x = np.linspace(0, 1, N)  
random\_y0 = np.random.randn(N) + 5  
random\_y1 = np.random.randn(N)  
random\_y2 = np.random.randn(N) - 5

fig = go.Figure()  
fig.add\_trace(go.Scatter(x=random\_x, y=random\_y0,  
mode=‘lines’,  
name=‘lines’))  
fig.add\_trace(go.Scatter(x=random\_x, y=random\_y1,  
mode=‘lines+markers’,  
name=‘lines+markers’))  
fig.add\_trace(go.Scatter(x=random\_x, y=random\_y2,  
mode=‘markers’, name=‘markers’))

plotly.offline.plot(fig, filename=‘file.html’)

Thanks for reporting.

Your graph renders fine for me when testing it out in IE11

running on Windows 7.

Can you share a bit more information to help us debug e.g.:

- which exact version of IE11 are you using
- which Windows version are you using
- are there any error messages in the developer tool (hit F12) console?

Thanks Etienne.

- IE version = 11.0.9600.19377CO
- Windows 7 Enterprise
- I’m getting a SCRIPT1010: Expected identifier & a SCRIPT5009: ‘Plotly’ is undefined error.

**EDIT** : if I move the plotly-latest.min.js script into the body tag then it seems to work on both IE and Chrome.

Thanks
