Internet Explorer 11 changed the User Agent string it uses. This breaks PeterBlum.com products running in IE 11. You will find that most if not all client-side behaviors are not working on IE 11. This is because the server side code must determine which scripts to inject and does so only for browsers it recognizes.
If you use ANY of my commercial products EXCEPT Peter's Polling Package, you will need an update. This includes all versions of Peter's Data Entry Suite ("DES"), Professional Validation And More ("VAM"), and Peter's Date Package. It also includes individual modules of DES and VAM.
ASP.NET 4 users should also ensure this Microsoft framework update is applied to any server because it fixes its own issues with IE 11 that can interfere with DES even after you update.
