Default SmartGwt IE9 issue
Hi

I'm using SmartGWT 2.4. I just tested my application in IE9. No mouse click got detected and Sub menus are not getting opened. Buttons are not listening to mouse. Same application is working in IE8, Chrome, Firefox. Please let me know how to fix this.

Set the HTML meta tags that cause IE9 to behave like an older version (Google for samples and options) and remove any DOCTYPE settings. Do this in your production deployment too, or your end users will see breakage when a new IE is released with new bugs.

Hi thanks for your reply ..

I added <!DOCTYPE html> at line 1. It's not working and I added following line to in headers , but still no use. Need to spend some more time.


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

If any one faced same problem , please reply me back.


thanks ..

Again, remove the DOCTYPE (entirely).

Removing the doctype, and adding this:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" >

Works like a charm in IE9 for me.

Just to let other users know that this works.

just be suer to wipe out IE9 cache before you access your app again.

Thanks!

Hi Guys!!

I am new to Smart GWT. I need some guidance related to put the HTML tags in Smart GWT. I am facing the same issue in IE9 but i am unable to find any HTML file in which i have to put the suggested meta tag..

As seen here : http://googlewebtoolkit.blogspot.com/2011/03/update-on-gwt-support-for-ie9.html
we only hat to add the metadata tag. Our doctype is still present and doesn't seems to have any impact on IE9.
Our doctype is the following: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

As web developer, I cannot imagine a web page without doctype...

It is no longer necessary to remove the DOCTYPE entirely or use the meta tags as of 2.5, however, setting an XHTML docType is still incorrect.
