This is the second time I loose more than a day searching why Internet Explorer choked on my GWT application.
Finally, I replaced my whole GWT code with the latest working version, but still without result. The only difference between the working version and the broken one was the CSS file. After a boring process of commenting and uncommenting CSS lines, I found that the guilty part was this:
#content{
border: 1px solid #3F8FB6;
}
I still don’t get it…
I got an “operation aborted” error in Internet Explorer 7, which rendered half of the page and then showed an empty page. Needless to say that everything worked perfectly in Firefox.
Even stranger was that I finally managed to fix it, but when I added Google Adsense banners, I got the error again!
After some googling and frustrating (un)commenting of blocks of code, I finally moved all javascript imports (GWT and Google Analytics) to the end of the page (just before the closing body tag). And – woohoo!- everything works!
Thanks to this overview of the problem!
