JSR-168 Portlets can't works with Internet Explorer

icarrara — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 20:35:20 GMT

I installed Alfresco ECM War V.2.1 under Tomcat running Liferay Portal V.4.3.2 to use the Alfresco JSR-168 Portlets (MySpaces and My Documents).The problem is that no one of the Alfresco's portlets are ready for Microsoft Internet Explorer. I tested IE V.6 and V.7 under Win 98, Xp Pro, 2003 Server.I

Hi Mike!

A simple "Error" message near the yellow triangle with a "!" inside … very few information, I know.

If you tell me where and what I have to search for, I will do!

Thank you for your support!

And, of course, if you wish I can give you access to the live Liferay Portal to see the problem in action…..

Hi,

Usually you can double-click on those IE errors to get a bit more information, but I suspect it won't be much help.

I'll ask the other devs tomorrow if anyone has 4.3.2 already set-up here.

Thanks,
Mike

Mike, note that the problem is present also with Liferay Portal V.4.3.0 and V.4.3.1

For your comodity, I'll put below two experiences from the Liferay forum:
——————————————————————
I've solved my pro… Just put all css and js to the end of the jsp file.
IE won't reconize them if they are placed before html body.
——————————————————————
I've recently discovered that IE6 & IE7 doesn't like the "<!–" HTML comment tags before the javascript, especially if the content of the portlet is generated on the fly (like AJAX or when we add the portlet for the first time). IE echo out something like "syntax error". I removed these comments tags and things seem to work fine now
——————————————————————

I hope this helps.

Thank you!
Ivano
