RichFaces 4.3.0 : IE8 problems

dom_rf Apr 17, 2013 6:18 AM

Hi,

RichFaces version: 4.3.0

Application works fine in Chrome, Firefox and IE10, but in IE8 it's not working properly.

In browser mode: "IE8" and document mode: "Normes IE8"

At each opening screen, IE restore tab: "This tab has been recovered. A problem with this web page caused Internet Explorer to close and reopen the tab."

In browser mode: View compatibility and document mode: "Normes IE7"

Screen opens correctly, but the menu items (rich:menuItem ) are no longer visible.

If I click on a command button on the screen (search for example), the screen reload and the menu items are now visible...

Have you ever seen this kind of problems?

Any idea?

Thanks.

Hi,

For information, I solved the menu items problem.
In the file bandeauAvecMenu.xhtml, there was

     <h:form>
          ---
          <h:panelGrid>
               ---
          </h:panelGrid>
          ---
     </h:form>

that iI changed to:
     <h:panelGrid>
               ---
          <h:form>
               ---
          </h:form>
               ---
     </h:panelGrid>

and it works well...

The problem "In browser mode: "IE8" and document mode: "Normes IE8"" is still present...
If someone has an idea I'm interested!

Hi,

To avoid the IE8 problem, I try to use conditional comment to force document mode (quirks, IE7) like this (my web site must be also compatible with IE6):

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<head>

<!--[if lte IE 6]><meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=5"/><![endif]-->
<!--[if (lte IE 8) & (gt IE 6)]><meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" /><![endif]-->

</head>

but it does not work.

If I put the following simple code, it works:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<head>

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />
</head>

How use conditionnal comment with richfaces?
