I'm running my application, which uses RF 4.1.0, in the technical preview Version of Windows 10 in IE 11 (version 11.0.9800.0). Everything works fine, except the "Today" button of the rich:calendar popup.
I can reproduce it using the following xhtml:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:rich="http://richfaces.org/rich">
<h:head>
</h:head>
<h:body>
<f:view>
<script>
function changeHandler() {
console.log('first');
alert('foo');
console.log('second');
return false;
}
</script>
<h:form>
<rich:calendar onchange="alert('foo');" />
</h:form>
</f:view>
</h:body>
</html>
Steps taken:
- Open the file in IE 11
- Open the calendar popup, choose a day not equal to "today"
- The change-handler fires, the alert is shown
- Open the calendar popup again, click "Today"
- IE crashes without showing the popup.
Here's a screencap: Webm.Host - IE11 crash
This seems to be a timing problem. If I set a breakpoint in IE's debugger on line #18 (i.e. right before the alert), the crash won't happen! Btw: I'm using a separate function just to be able to set a breakpoint, IE will crash if I put the call to alert directly as the "onchange" attribute, too.
The whole problem is client-side only. Attached is a zip with all the files needed (basically: the rendered HTML file and the JS code of RichFaces). Also other Versions of IE 11 under Windows 7 work fine, too.
Any ideas a) what causes the crash b) why setting a breakpoint prevents it and c) how to properly fix the error?
