IE8 standards mode, rich:modalPanel cannot be closed
----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: RF-6437
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-6437
             Project: RichFaces
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.3.0, 3.2.2
         Environment: Windows XP, Internet Explorer 8 RC1 (tested using VirtualPC VM provided by Microsoft)
            Reporter: Andrew May


A JavaScript error is thrown when trying to close a modal panel when using IE8RC1 in standards mode.
With 3.3.0GA (as currently in use by the live demo), the error is at ui.pack.js.jsf at line 903 character 30:

if(G.style.removeExpression){G.style.removeExpression("width");

In IE8 standards mode support for expressions has been removed: http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2008/10/16/ending-expressions.aspx. The check for G.style.removeExpression returns true, but the call to the method throws a "Not Implemented" error.

This may be a bug in IE8, but it's unlikely to be fixed before it is released, and I've been unable to submit a bug at the https://connect.microsoft.com/IE/Feedback site. Therefore it may be necessary to work around it.
