Primefaces problem in IE8

[rahulneversaydie]

Hello All,

When I am running my page on IE8, everything simply breaks, all the p:panels and p:datatables. The same page perfectly gets rendered in Firefox. I have googled a bit on this and came to know that Primfaces is a bit incompatible for IE. Is it so???


Primefaces 2.2.1 + JSF2.0.3. + Windows 7+ IE8
FireFox 3.6/4.0

How can I fix this? Do i need to add some sepecial configuration for IE?
Do let me know if I need to provide more information.

Thanks,
Rahul

Do panels and datatable fail for you on IE8?

PrimeFaces is well tested for IE8.

Check in IE Developer Toolbar (F12) at first whether your browser mode is IE8 and not IE7 (server can force rendering as IE7 by response header). PrimeFaces runs well in IE8. Tested many components and real business web applications. PrimeFaces doesn't run well in IE9. We had almost everything broken in IE9 for one web application.

Hi,

is it sure about primefaces incompatible with IE?
Currently I had issue in layout center and left are not loading at the same time in IE8/9. it does well in chrome.

Any suggestion? we decied to choose primefaces instead of ADF(Oracle). If there is issue with IE, then I need to talk to management.
Our customers are using IE.

Please guide me.

Regards,
Phyu

Hi,

I already tell you that PrimeFaces runs very well in IE7, IE8. Run PF apps every day in IE without problems. Well, you will face some little problems, but I think this effort http://primefaces.prime.com.tr/forum/vi ... =3&t=12040 could help you

Hello,

Thanks a lot for your responses.

As suggested, I have checked Developers Tool. My Browser Mode is IE8 compact view.

I don't now why the IE8 is not supporting my pages. Although the p:panel and p:datatable are geting rendered, but there alignment, there shape and there appearence get broken in IE8. In simple words the pages are not looking as beautiful as they are looking in Firefox.

I know that IE is the most widely used browser and the Primefaces must have been tested on IE8, but somehow the pages are not looking good in my case with IE. And this is happening with alomost all my folks who are using IE8. In evey case the p:panel and p:datatable work fine with Firefox.

Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Rahul

Hi Rahul,

I don't know what do you do. Maybe you need some CSS tweaks.

Shape / round corners are not available in IE. IE8 and below can't render round corners (but there are JS solutions for that if you like it).

Post your screens here please.

My apologies for responding late.

It is not possible for me to post the screens as I am bound with the client agreement.

I am very much confident that Primefaces works perfectly fine with IE8. Some pages of my colleauges are workiing fine in IE8.

Now we have almost zeroed on the fact that we need to play with our css.

Thanks for all your help and guidance.

Do I need to close this thread?

Hi All,

I'm experiencing the same way, output of css style in Firefox and Chrome is nice but in IE 9 it doesn't. Can you please
