PI47189: THE MOBILEFIRST PLATFORM FOUNDATION CORDOVA TEMPLATE APP DOES NOT DISPLAY CORRECT VERSION WHEN PREVIEWED IN FIREFOX.

IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation Interim Fix README for 7.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Firefox does not support the API used by the MobileFirst
  Platform Foundation Cordova template for displaying the app
  version. This problem manifests itself when previewing the
  template app with Firefox. A change must be made to the
  template's javascript to use textContent instead of innerText
  for updating the app's Document Object Model.
  

Local fix

• Modify the javascript for the template by changing all
  occurrences of innerText to textContent. Another method would
  include using Chrome to preview an app.
