Blank page on internet explorer 6

[bognekadje]

Hi,
I am using gwt 2.3 (with UiBinder) and try to launch my application on
internet explorer 6.
I got a blank page with and error message such as onModuleLoad()
fails.

Firstly, i want to know if gwt 2.3 can be use on internet explorer 6.
If it is possible, what can i do to make my application compatible
with internet explorer 6.

Thanks.

Eric.

Such an error message probably means you're running in DevMode, in which case you should have hints as to what failed in the DevMode window (or the "Development Mode" in Eclipse if you use the Google Plugin for Eclipse).

Yes.

You probably know that IE 6 is absolutely outdated and that you'll
have a lot of trouble making your ideas work on IE 6. That is - btw -
not a GWT problem, but a problem of any kind of stuff that should run
on IE 6. IE6 is just "evil".

GWT does an excellent jobs making cool things work on IE6. But still -
you'll have problems.

I would 1) Negotiate hard to drop IE 6 support or 2) Use ChromeFrame
to abstract IE6 away.

If you check out HtmlBoilerplate (http://html5boilerplate.com/) it is
really simple and does not need an admin account on the PC:
<!--[if lt IE 7 ]>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/chrome-frame/1.0.2/CFInstall.min.js"></script>
<script>window.attachEvent("onload",function(){CFInstall.check({mode:"overlay"})})</script>
<![endif]-->

Best,

Raphael

I had a similar problem once and I think I found the reason by using the debug tool built in explorer and then changing the version back. I think the reason had something to do with some string character or something really weird. I never worried about it and eventually made enough other changes that the problem went away without me digging deeper. Sorry I can't add more than that.
