Hi Brett,

we have the same problem here as you describe. Did you find a solution or a workaround for this?

Thanks

Hi yes we solved it as far as we know, see below:

Patched the AJAX.js script in the richfaces-impl jar with:

http://vsomani.blogspot.com/2011/12/a4j-and-ie-9-issues-with.html

You could solve all the problems of ajax with that?

Does this solution fix rich:tree node selection for any of you? I'm using a patched AJAX.js and everything works except for treenode selection.

I tried above mentioned solution to fix IE9 issues, however even in IE7 compatibility mode some bugs were present. After spending some time in IE development tools here's addition to richfaces-impl fix:

1) Instead of patching Sarrissa framework ( "1) IE9 detection from..") it is better to upgrade Sarissa framework to 0.9.9.6 it has some additional IE9 issues fixed, to upgade framework, download sarissa.js from http://sourceforge.net/projects/sarissa/files/ and replace first part of AJAX.js (till EOF comment) or replace sarissa.js in richfaces souce resources and use maven to build new jar.

2) For richfaces-impl work in non-compatibility mode in IE9, A4J.AJAX.replacePage method should be fixed either in AJAX.js or JSFAJAX.js(if you are building sources), custom document.open method does not work in IE9 document mode. Simply replace if(isIE) {  --> if(isIE&&!Sarissa._SARISSA_IS_IE9) { (line 2125 in AJAX.js, line 1121 in JFSAJAX.js).

That's fixed IE9-related issues for our application ( myfaces 1.2.11 + richfaces 3.3.2.SR1).

Hi.

We could fix our IE9 Problems with a simple Filter we added in the web.xml

<filter>

        <display-name>IE9 Filter</display-name>

        <filter-name>ie9filter</filter-name>

        <filter-class>ch.bedag.gba.capweb.util.IE9Filter</filter-class>

    </filter>

<filter-mapping>

        <filter-name>ie9filter</filter-name>

        <url-pattern>*</url-pattern>

        <dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>

    </filter-mapping>

package ch.bedag.gba.capweb.util;

import java.io.IOException;

import javax.servlet.Filter;

import javax.servlet.FilterChain;

import javax.servlet.FilterConfig;

import javax.servlet.ServletException;

import javax.servlet.ServletRequest;

import javax.servlet.ServletResponse;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequestWrapper;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;

import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;

/**

* IE9 Filter. Helps proper rendering on Internet Explorer 9.

*/

public class IE9Filter implements Filter {

    private final static Log LOG = LogFactory.getLog(IE9Filter.class);

    @Override

    public void init(FilterConfig filterConfig) throws ServletException {

        // noop

    }

    @Override

    public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {

        // Hier zwingen wir den IE9 in den Kombatibilitaetsmodus

        ((HttpServletResponse) response).setHeader("X-UA-Compatible", "IE=EmulateIE8");

        // Der IE9 sendet fuer css neu nur noch "text/css" als Accept header.

        // Dies hat zur Folge, dass die Klasse HtmlRenderUtils folgende

        // Exception wirft.

        // "ContentTypeList does not contain a supported content type: text/css"

        // Um dies zu verhindern kann man entweder das Myfaces Patchen oder eben

        // den Request korrigierren.

        // Wir haben uns für die zweite Lösung enschieden und verändern den

        // Accept header. Neu wird es "text/css, */*" anstatt nur "text/css"

        String accept = ((HttpServletRequest) request).getHeader("Accept");

        if ("text/css".equals(accept)) {

            chain.doFilter(new IE9HttpServletRequestWrapper((HttpServletRequest) request), response);

        } else {

            chain.doFilter(request, response);

        }

    }

    @Override

    public void destroy() {

        // noop

    }

    // Request Wrapper. Catches the getHeader for Accept. When it is text/css we

    // will return simply "text/css, */*"

    private class IE9HttpServletRequestWrapper extends HttpServletRequestWrapper {

        public IE9HttpServletRequestWrapper(HttpServletRequest request) {

            super(request);

        }

        @Override

        public String getHeader(String name) {

            String header = super.getHeader(name);

            if ("text/css".equalsIgnoreCase(header)) {

                header = "text/css, */*";

            }

            return header;

        }

    }

}

Tempororily i resolve the problem by replacing the below lines. It works fine. Two changes can help you to resolve the problem

Find the file AJAX.js in richfaces-impl.jar

Location :  /org/ajax4jsf/javascript/scripts/AJAX.js

1 :

                     line number 1398

          oldnode.outerHTML = new XMLSerializer().serializeToString(newnode);

and replace it by

           if (typeof window.XMLSerializer != "undefined")

      {

          oldnode.outerHTML = new XMLSerializer().serializeToString(newnode);

      }

     else if (typeof xmlNode.xml != "undefined")

      {

          oldnode.outerHTML = xmlNode.xml;

      }

2 :

                     line number 1627

     dst.setAttribute(attr,value);

and replace by adding try, catch

     try

     {

          dst.setAttribute(attr, value);

     }

     catch (err)

     {

          //alert('Error');

     }

(or)

make a copy of AJAX.js file and modified the above lines and include this file into your main page that will replace the old one.

Hi,

Just wanted to add that this can be done without replacing anything in the jar files;

jQuery(document).ready(function() {

  //https://community.jboss.org/message/638508#638508

  try {

    if (jQuery.browser.msie && jQuery.browser.version >= 9) {

      window.XMLSerializer = function() {};

      window.XMLSerializer.prototype.serializeToString = function(oNode) {

        return oNode.xml;

      };

    }

  } catch (exception) {}

  //http://salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/7917/visualforce-major-grief-with-ie9-ajax-refresh-rerender-issues

  try {

      A4J.AJAX.XMLHttpRequest.prototype._copyAttribute = function(src, dst, attr) {

          var value = src.getAttribute(attr);

          if (value) {

            try {

            dst.setAttribute(attr, value);

            } catch (err) {}

          }

      };

    } catch (exception) {}

});

i have problem in windows 8  and IE 10

Webpage error details is

i am using richfaces-impl-3.3.2SR1.jar

please help me......

     Thanks in advance

The problem with the

LOG.debug("Hidden JSF state fields: " + idsSpan);

is that XML node "ajax-view-state" which keeps hidden inputs with view state, do not have .toString() method, so when js tries to concat string and idsSpan.toString() raises an error.

If tried to "add" a toString() method to that kind of nodes:

try {

                    var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.6.0");

                    var newRoot = xmlDoc.createElement("root");

  // newRoot is an object of the same type as idsSpan

                    newRoot.prototye.toString = function() {

                              return this.xml;

                    }

          } catch (e) {

          }

But with no success.  Anybody any insight?

I'm also seeking a solution or any ideas for my IE10. Seems like many of us have same problem.

For this exact issue I got the code from

/<CONTEXT_PATH>/a4j/g/3_3_1.GAorg.ajax4jsf.javascript.AjaxScript.jsf

include statically from a local file in web server

and comment that line

Can't find a better solution

We are not planning on releasing any more releases of RichFaces 3.  To keep your apps running on any Internet Explorer release >= 9, be sure to set the document compatibility in your application to IE-EmulateIE8 as in:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE8" >

For more details, see:

Defining document compatibility:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc288325(v=vs.85).aspx

Specifying legacy document modes

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj676915(v=vs.85).aspx

The <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE8"/>  solution did not work for me.   I'm using RichFaces 3.3.1.GA still because the calendar widget doesn't work at all in 3.3.3.Final.

Maybe I'll fork 3.3.3.Final and fix it if I'm feeling ambitious.     Where is the source for RichFaces 3.3.3.Final anyway?

I was about to say that it's probably not such a good idea to use browser detection to make the decision, but I did some investigating in IE10 and found that IE10 does have XMLSerializer.serializeToString(), but it doesn't work with this particular bit of code.  In fact, in the AJAX.js script at line 614 there is this:

if(!window.XMLSerializer && Sarissa.getDomDocument && Sarissa.getDomDocument("","foo", null).xml){

    /**

     * Utility class to serialize DOM Node objects to XML strings

     * @constructor

     */

    XMLSerializer = function(){};

    /**

     * Serialize the given DOM Node to an XML string

     * @param oNode the DOM Node to serialize

     */

    XMLSerializer.prototype.serializeToString = function(oNode) {

        return oNode.xml;

    };

}

Interesting....   So it actually already knows how to fake this stuff out.   It's just not doing it.
