[Engine-devel] IE9 Issue with UI Plugin

[Vojtech Szocs]

Hi Ricky,

you were right, in IE9, postMessage listener (WebAdmin) didn't work properly, so I simplified it and verified that it now works in IE9, too: http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/15888/

After applying above mentioned patch, everything should work as expected in IE9. I've also attached "test-plugin" which I used for verification in IE9.

Regards,
Vojtech
