> The entity list produced by scaffold/.../list.xhtml is not editable on IE 8. Probably because the table tags produced by Metawidget are considered to be 'above' (in z-index) the anchor tag, and stop the anchor tag being clicked.
> A few possible workarounds:
> 1. Change the Metawidget tag to be...
> <m:metawidget value="#{entity}" readOnly="true" rendererType="simple"/>
> ...the 'simple' renderer will output spans, not table tags, and so the link is still clickable. You may want a little CSS to space the table tags apart.
> 2. Change the Metawidget tag to be...
> <m:metawidget value="#{customerBean.list}">
> 	<f:param name="dataTableRowAction" value="customerBean.load"/>
> </m:metawidget>
> Now Metawidget will render the collection as a DataTable, with a extra column for a 'load' action. It will need a little help to do this. Specifically: a) CustomerBean.getList will need to return a ListDataModel, so that CustomerBean.load can use .getRowData to determine which row was clicked. This is standard JSF behaviour. b) Customer will need either a decent .toString (for a single column table) or some required fields like @Column(nullable = false) getName() so that Metawidget can choose which fields are 'summary' fields for use in table columns
> 3. Add in a custom Metawidget WidgetBuilder to render the list just the way you want it
> 4. Tweak the z-index order in the CSS, although this may lead to further browser incompatibilities
> Probably 1) is easiest for now?
