I have an application that has 96+- CSS files that are part of the
UIBInder xml files. Recently I just noticed that when I open my
application in IE8 and IE9 it throws a javascript error : Invalid
argument. number : -2147024809.

I then read an articcle that mentioned that IE8 has a hard limit on
the number of stylesheets you can have in your page of 30
stylesheets.

Is there any way to get around this limit without losing the benefit
of granular style sheets brought about by UIBinder?

Thanks,

Melody

UiBinder's <ui:style> generate CssResources and automatically calls ensureInjected() on them. CssResource#ensureInjected() takes care of the stylesheet limit in IE by appending to the last <style> element instead of adding a new one, so I doubt this is your problem.
Isn't IE also having a limit on the number of rules within stylesheets?
Or it might be something else entirely that's causing the error.

Thanks Thomas. I just thought I will add to the details of the error
by adding the stack trace that is produced when I run the code in Dev
Mode. Below:
