File Upload Issue in IE 8

[atait]

We are deploying with:

jdk 1.6.0_14
JBoss 4.3_CP04
Richfaces 3.3.1

The file upload component works well in most browsers we test. However, compatibility mode is required when using the file upload component in IE 8. When not in compatibility mode, the following error is present and the "Attach" button is disabled:

Here is the file upload tag configuration we are using:

fileUploadListener="#{fileUploadListener.listener}"
maxFilesQuantity="999"
immediateUpload="false"

onadd="fileAdded();"
ontyperejected="postTypeRejected(event);"
onupload="postPreUploadFileCount(event);"
onerror="postClientUploadErrorEvent(event);"
onclick="manageSendButton();"
onclear="manageSendButton();"
addControlLabel="Attach"
cancelEntryControlLabel="Remove"
autoclear="true"
allowFlash="auto" >

<f:facet name="label">
<h:outputText value="{_KB}KB of {KB}KB uploaded --- {mm}:{ss}" />
</f:facet>

<a4j:support
event="onuploadcomplete"
oncomplete="uploadComplete();"
reRender="idShoppingCartPanel" />

</rich:fileUpload>

Hi,

Can you please try with 3.3.2.SR1?

[atait]

Two things:

Yes this seems to be addressed in 3.3.2.SR1

Wow, deploying with these jars affected our formatting greatly. I wouldn't expect such change in a revision upgrade (from 3.3.1 -> 3.3.2.SR1). Is the Richfaces team aware of this?

Thanks

check known problems for the version. There is issue with menu and it affects extendedDataTable menu. it's adressed to 3.3.3 CR and already fixed in snapshot.

If you have more side effects - let us know.
