[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBSEAM-3459) IE6 (very specific version) Crash on Seam Remoting Callback

From reading the javascript specs, the minimum timeout value is actually around 25ms. Anything smaller than that, it gets rounded up.

IE6 (very specific version) Crash on Seam Remoting Callback ----------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-3459 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3459 Project: Seam Issue Type: Bug Components: Remoting Affects Versions: 2.0.1.GA Environment: Microsoft Windows XP - Professional IE 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.070227-2254 Intel (R) Core(TM) 2 Duo CPU (1.80Ghz) 1.99Gb of RAM Reporter: Anthony Kitchin Assignee: Shane Bryzak Fix For: 2.1.0.GA I tracked the issue down to one line of javascript code in remote.js req.onreadystatechange = function() {}; The following thread discusses the problem is with an old version of the JScript.dll 5.6.0.8820 which is the same version I've got on a laptop here. http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit/browse_thread/thread/69... One solution is to upgrade JScript.dll to 5.6.0.8831 http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms06-023.mspx Or we can do what they did in GWT which is to move the req.onreadystatechange out of the scope of the current function window.setTimeout(function() { req.onreadystatechange = function() {}; }, 0 );
