    [FIXED] [V0.7] Internet Explorer 6 throws error with Coolite + showModalDialog + base target=_self

    IE has a special showModalDialog function that will open a modal window. In the modal window, you must have <base target=_self /> to avoid postback opening another new window. If Coolite is on the modal page, IE6 throws an 'Internet Explorer can not open [page]" error. IE7 works fine.

    *Found a few more articles on this:*

    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/927917



    Looks like another IE quirk. *Unfortunately, more than 80% of our clients still use IE6, and our app uses ALOT of modal dialogs. *

    *Yes. *Found the official thread on ExtJS for this. *Looks like a confirmed bug with Ext 2.2.

    http://www.extjs.com/forum/showthrea...287#post236287



    I didn't read through all 12 pages of that thread, but it seems like there is a patch but no official fix. *Will it be possible for Coolite to include the patch? *Or should I apply the patch manually and rebuild from SVN?

    Hi jchau,

    I believe this onReady fix has already been applied a while back, but I will double check.

    Can you try the example I posted and see if you can reproduce the error? I am using v0.7.0.28815. I want to make sure it's not an issue on my side. Thanks!

    Hi jchau,

    I have reproduced the error in IE6.*


    I tested in FF2, FF3, IE7, IE8, Safari and Chrome... all of which appear to be working correctly.*


    We're going to do some research into this issue.

    Thanks Geoffrey. There was an immediate need for a fix as our release date is next week. However, I was able to workaround the problem by converting all the postbacks to webservice calls (using Telerik control in some of the pages so can't do AjaxEvents). It would be great if this can be fixed in the future, but not an emergency anymore. Thanks!

    Hi Jacky,

    I think I found and fixed the problem. I've committed the change to SVN, but still need to do more testing before we can stamp this one as FIXED.


    If you get a chance, please SVN update and retest your samples to confirm.

    Hi Jacky,

    Any chance you could svn update and confirm if this js error is still being thrown?
