[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (RF-6437) IE8 standards mode, rich:modalPanel cannot be closed

[Jay Postertz (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-6437?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12476878#action_12476878 ] 

Jay Postertz commented on RF-6437:
----------------------------------

***
This HTML (placed in the head section) attempts to force IE8 to run in IE7 mode, which can help (but not always): 

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7"/> 
***

is not working.
Any other workaround?

>             Project: RichFaces
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 3.2.2, 3.3.0
>         Environment: Windows XP, Internet Explorer 8 RC1 (tested using VirtualPC VM provided by Microsoft)
>            Reporter: Andrew May
>            Assignee: Nick Belaevski
>             Fix For: 3.3.1

> 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.
