Disabling compatibility view does the trick. - DHC On Fri, Feb 15, 2013 at 2:06 PM, Vojtech Szocs <vszocs@redhat.com> wrote:
Hi,
The Internet Exploder "edge" mode seems to be the core culprit here.
please check http://stackoverflow.com/a/5673902, intranet sites in IE8/IE9 are *always* rendered in compatibility (non-standards) mode. This might be the problem you're facing with WebAdmin and UserPortal. You might want to check IE "Compatibility View Settings" dialog box and ensure that nothing gets "displayed in compatibility view".
Can you please try: - check IE "Compatibility View Settings" and see if it works, without any X-UA-Compatible stuff whatsoever - if not, adding IE=edge and see if it works

Rebuilding with -Dgwt.userAgent= ie8,ie9,gecko1_8,safari,opera -Pgwt-admin,gwt-user,dep had no effect. Which given that the default behavior of master is to do this is not surprising.
The Internet Exploder "edge" mode seems to be the core culprit here.

Hi,
doing "make rpm" will actually build Engine using Maven and produce RPMs, but you might also want to deploy Engine EAR that was built to JBoss server via "make install_artifacts".
Thus I assume the master build does not default to compiling for all browsers?
Aside from "make rpm-quick", which builds quick & dirty RPMs for Firefox [gwt.userAgent=gecko1_8], I don't see any "gwt.userAgent" stuff in makefile, so the master build defaults to compiling for all browsers, unless you override this via "EXTRA_BUILD_FLAGS".
I think an easier way to do this is as Alona suggested, invoking Maven build directly:
$ "mvn clean install -Pdep,gwt-admin,gwt-user", but it's up to you.
Anyway, I think the problem isn't related to "gwt.userAgent" property at all. If the GWT permutation for IE is missing, blank page will be shown, as GWT permutation selector script (*.nocache.js) will not be able to load that permutation.
I think the problem might be caused by your client's IE browser settings. As per [1], IE should render HTML page with "<!DOCTYPE html>" using standards mode; rendering mode which WebAdmin and UserPortal require. So if you see garbled mess in IE, it means IE doesn't render HTML page in standards mode, but in other (quirks?) mode, due to some IE browser settings override.
The "X-UA-Compatible" meta-tag actually *forces* IE to render HTML page in standards mode, which overrides any IE browser settings:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9"/>
(I think we should reconsider adding this meta-tag due to reasons above, to ensure better compatibility with IE.)
Instead of forcing IE9 mode we can use "edge" mode to display content in the highest mode available. I.e.: <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"/>

NVM got it --> BUILD_FLAGS=-Dgwt.userAgent=ie8,ie9,gecko1_8,safari,opera -Pgwt-admin,gwt-user,dep Building now.

When I compile the engine I do the following: (FC17 build host) --> git clone http://gerrit.ovirt.org/ovirt-engine.git --> cd ovirt-engine --> make rpm
Thus I assume the master build does not default to compiling for all browsers? The GWT compliation seems to go through quite a few permuatations during the compile.
If master is not set to compile for all browsers then given the above build steps what additionally should I be doing to make it so (guessing refer to above but how to simplify to "make rpm") ?

Hi,
Maybe you've compiled the application with -Dgwt.userAgent flag for a specific browser?
this is a good point, please make sure to compile UserPortal for all browsers, e.g. instead of:
$ mvn clean install -Pdep,gwt-user -Dgwt.userAgent=<specificBrowser>
you should just do:
$ mvn clean install -Pdep,gwt-user
This will compile UserPortal for all browsers.
However, I don't think this is the problem here, because IIRC when you compile UserPortal only for browser X and you try to access it in browser Y, you'll get an empty webpage.

Hi,
The webadmin and userportal works pretty fine for me on ie8 and ie9. Can you please be more specific about what doesn't work for you? Maybe attaching a screen shot.
Maybe you've compiled the application with -Dgwt.userAgent flag for a specific browser? You should compile without any specific gwt.userAgent to support all the browsers or to add -Dgwt.userAgent=ie8,ie9 to support ie8 and ie9.

Ever since this change: http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/11078/ The webadmin and userportal UI no longer displays nor works correctly within Internet Explorer 8 or 9.
Under IE 8 or 9 the UI is pretty much an usable garbled mess. Everything looks and works fine under Chrome and Firefox.
Unfortunately Internet Exploder is a necessary evil for windows users to be able to get at SPICE consoles. (No spice plugin/support for Firefox/Chrome yet...)
