Menu issue with IE not in FireFox

Menu issue with IE not in FireFox.

I am using the following:

RichFaceApi_3_2.jar = ${maven.repo}/richFacesAjax/jars/snapshot/richfaces-api-3.2.1-snap.jar
RichFaceImpl_3_2.jar = ${maven.repo}/richFacesAjax/jars/snapshot/richfaces-impl-3.2.1-snap.jar
RichFaceUi_3_2.jar = ${maven.repo}/richFacesAjax/jars/snapshot/richfaces-ui-3.2.1.snap.jar

This is a clip of the menu.fragement..


This menu works fine in FireFox but in IE I get several errors.


I these errors in IE ver 7.0 as follows:

Unterminated string constant
and
Expected ')'

After this my page loads but most of the objects don't work.

This works fine in FireFox...without any errors in the Tools/Error Console of FF.

Thanks
Phil

What exact version of JSF implementation you use?

[nohacks]

Thanks for your response

I am using..

jsf-api_1_2.jar = ${maven.repo}/jsf/mojarra-1.2_08-b06-FCS/lib/jsf-api.jar
jsf-impl_1_2.jar = ${maven.repo}/jsf/mojarra-1.2_08-b06-FCS/lib/jsf-impl.jar

[sergeysmirnov]

mojarra-1.2_08 has a terrible bug with calculating the length of the output buffer, so one char is always replace with the garbage symbol.

Check out how it is related to your case. Replace 1.2_08 with 1.2._07 or 1.2._09beta1

[nohacks]

Ok..I will download that and test with

1.2._09beta1

Do you think that is the issue I am having with the IE menu bug???


I will let you know what happens.

Thanks
Phil

[sergeysmirnov]

I do not think the menu has a "Unterminated string constant". Six weeks of QA is more than enough to figure out such primitive problem. The problem is around.

[nohacks]

Hey Great,

You are correct. That works with the new beta 1.2.09.

I still have an issue of the command buttons not working on IE and working on FireFox.

I will work on that now...but the errors are gone with IE.

Thanks
Phil

SergeySmirnov,

I have a problem now...I am not getting any errors in the logs files or IE browser.

My application works fine with FireFox.

It does not seem to be working correct in IE ver7.

I upgraded to JSF beta 1.2.09 and using

RichFaceApi_3_2.jar = ${maven.repo}/richFacesAjax/jars/snapshot/richfaces-api-3.2.1-snap.jar
RichFaceImpl_3_2.jar = ${maven.repo}/richFacesAjax/jars/snapshot/richfaces-impl-3.2.1-snap.jar
RichFaceUi_3_2.jar = ${maven.repo}/richFacesAjax/jars/snapshot/richfaces-ui-3.2.1.snap.jar

is there a new release I can upgrade in RichFaces???

If so where can I find it.

Thanks

Phil

[sergeysmirnov]

3.2.1.GA was released a week ago. So, no reason to point to the snap in your pom.

[nohacks]

I have narrowed it down to this code...

It works fine in Firefox but not in IE ver.7


<rich:panel>

<rich:dataGrid id="membersZip" value="#{membersInZipcode.arrayListOfSearch4Member}"
var="membersZip" columns="5" elements="10" >

<rich:panel styleClass="phil" id="memberGridWelcome" style="padding: 1px 3px 2px 3px; " >
<rich:effect event="onclick" type="Highlight" params="duration:1.0" />
<rich:effect event="onclick" for="memberGridWelcome" type="Appear" params="delay:0.1,duration:0.9" />

<f:facet name="header" >
<h:outputText value="#{welcomeMembersZip.userName}" ></h:outputText>
</f:facet>
<h:panelGrid columns="1">


<a4j:commandLink styleClass="phil" action="go_memberViewed" actionListener="#{memberViewForm.getMemberInfoAttrib}" immediate="true">
<a4j:actionparam id="memberId_str" name="memberId_str" value="#{membersZip.memberId_str}"
assignTo="#{welcomeMembersZip.memberId_str}"></a4j:actionparam>

</a4j:commandLink>
</h:panelGrid>
</rich:panel>

</rich:dataGrid>

</rich:panel>




=====================================

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong ???


Thanks

I put a in the case and it worked but then does not fill the bean with current member data.

This does work fine in FireFox IE is the problem...any ideals??

[nohacks]

I put a < redirect / > in the case and it worked but then does not fill the bean with current member data.

That was from the last comment...it was left out

[nohacks]

I just updated to new RF

RichFaceApi_3_2.jar = ${maven.repo}/richFacesAjax/jars/richfaces_3_2_1_GA/richfaces-ui-3.2.1.GA/lib/richfaces-api-3.2.1.GA.jar
RichFaceImpl_3_2.jar = ${maven.repo}/richFacesAjax/jars/richfaces_3_2_1_GA/richfaces-ui-3.2.1.GA/lib/richfaces-impl-3.2.1.GA.jar
RichFaceUi_3_2.jar = ${maven.repo}/richFacesAjax/jars/richfaces_3_2_1_GA/richfaces-ui-3.2.1.GA/lib/richfaces-ui-3.2.1.GA.jar



Still does not work with IE...works with FF...

Any Help?

Phil

[sergeysmirnov]

Why do you use a4j:commandLink, but not the regular h:commandLink ?

[nohacks]

I wanted to try a4j:commandLink out....

It does not work with h:commandLink or a4j:commandLink in IE...

I use system.out.println of the data that is found from oracle select on member.

Just does not redirect in IE...works ok in FireFox.

No errors in logs or exceptions...This seems like some other type of error.

very strange.
