[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (RF-12038) IE8 - Object does not support this property or method - a4j:jsFunction

[Jean ANDRE (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-12038?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12750792#comment-12750792 ] 

Jean ANDRE commented on RF-12038:
---------------------------------

Well, probably not necessary - What I'm expecting from the richFaces team because is not really an issue from RF code is that you update the documentation of this tag. The documentation should warn the user that using the same name for id and name for this tag triggers an error with IE. The doc, should explain the message and the workaround for the error. As IE implementation is going to stay like this for a while, it is no a temporary advise but a constraint, a limitation and then having a clearly explanation to the developer community will be help us to not losing our time. Probably, you can have a special section like "Compatibility issues and limitations".
Best regards.
