PM27908: IE8: NEXT/BACK BUTTONS IN A JSF PORTLET WITH TABS BEHAVES INCORRECTLY

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• IE8: When the Next/Back buttons in a JSF portlet with tabs are
  used, the tabbed panel skips tabs going both back and forth.
  
  Problem Analysis:
  The way that IE8 processes attribute values has changed such
  that dojo.query( "[onclick]", rootElement ) does not return
  correctly.
  

Local fix

• 1) Backup the ibmCSA.js file in the
  WebSphere/wp_profile/installedApps/w
  ps61/Dojo_Resources.ear/dojo.war/com directory
  
  2) Copy the ibmCSA.uncompressed.js file into the ibmCSA.js file
  
  3) Edit the ibmCSA.js file and change the selectNodes function
  under the
   dojo.declare(
  "com.ibm.portal.aggregation.event.markup.OnclickRewriter"
   section
  
  4) Replace the selectNodes function with the following code:
  
     selectNodes: function ( /*HTMLElement*/rootElement ) {
             // summary: Selects the nodes that need to be
  rewritten.
             // rootElement: the root node to search from
             // returns: an array of the nodes that need to be
  rewritten
             if(document.documentMode == '8'){
                var elems = [];
                dojo.query('*',
  rootElement).forEach(function(node) {
                   if (node.onclick) {
                      elems.push(node);
                   }
                });
                return elems;
             }
             else {
                return dojo.query( "[onclick]", rootElement );
             }
     }
  

Problem summary

• IE8: When the Next/Back buttons in a JSF portlet with tabs are
  used, the tabbed panel skips tabs going both back and forth.
  

Problem conclusion

  Fix 1 and also part of WebSphere Portal 7.0.0.1.
