GWT 2.4 no longer supports Quirks Mode

[jvincent]

GWT 2.4 no longer supports Quirks Mode. We updated our html doctype to use Standards mode. SmartGWT, however, requires Quirks Mode so this caused layout issues and hilites to not work. What plans does Isomorphic have to address these issues?

GWT: 2.4
SmartGWT: 2.5
IE 7/8 & Firefox 7

[smartgwt.dev]

Please add the following to your module xml file :

<extend-configuration-property name="document.compatMode" value="BackCompat">

This tells GWT to not do an assert fail when it is run in quirks mode.

This will be part of SmartGWT 2.5 so you'll not need to add it in your module file but with Smart GWT 2.4 you'll need to add this yourself. Let us know if this works for you.

Thanks.
