Downloading picture message shown on IE 8

[panky_p]

Hi,

On IE-8 if I try to upload a file using fileupload component, it shows some meesages on status bar even though file upload is complete.

such as

"Downloading picture ../a4j/g/3_3_1.GAorg/richfaces/renderkit/html/images/ico_start.gif"

or "Downloading picture ../a4j/g/3_3_1.GAorg.richfaces.renderkit.html.images.UploadButtonBgGradient.class"

What exactly its trying to do?

I see same behavior even on the RichFaces live demo (using IE7):

Downloading picture ... lasts forever. Attaching screenshot:

Does anyone know the reason?

I have the same problem. IE also endlessly waits for the download to finish, spinning the icon, keeping the hourglass.

I tried partial refresh of the Upload and/or the enclosing form.

Also tried h:form and a4j:form with various settings.

The only way to get rid of it is to reload the whole page by browser refresh or standard form submit.

I refuse to do a regular form submit! It's too nasty with IE complaining incessantly about reposting form data.

However, if I use a4j:support event="onuploadcomplete" reRender="result,upload" to refresh the FileUpload component the add file will re-enable.

Then the stuck behavior only happens the first time.

I suspect some hidden field needs to be read and it has no value until after the first upload.
