Insert custom meta data in portlet pages

erik.berg Aug 30, 2010 5:57 AM

Hi,

we are currently running GateIn 3.1 Final and developing IE8 specific portlets. In most cases, the users have a setting defaulting their rendering agent to IE7 compatibility mode. This works fine in general, but in one specific case the content of the page overflows and we want to use the CSS property overflow-x: scroll/auto. This is a bug under IE7, because the scroll bar does not appear. In this case we want to insert a meta property in the header to force the page to run in IE 8 standards mode:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8">

My question is: How can I manipulate the meta tags / header node in the html produced by the GateIn template?

Thanks...

You can't edit or remove things in the <head> but you can add elements by using standard Portlet 2.0 feature.

I let you see in the specification, if you are looking for an example it's used by the jQuery sample:

Thanks Thomas...

the above examples were very helpfull.

The only thing outstanding is getting this meta tag to be the first one in the header. It needs to be included before all js/css listings.

But I think this is not a GateIn-question so my original question is answered.

Did you put the tag to be the first one in the header? I'm facing of the same problem, any help will be great.
