Hi Folks- This doesn't appear to be a known issue and I didn't manage to dig up any previous conversation on the topic, so let me offer my apologies in advance if this has been covered before.
When adding multiple incubator widgets that use StyleInjector, we ran up against a limitation in IE. In our specific situation, when adding lots of spinner controls to a single page we started seeing this stack trace in the hosted mode console: [ERROR] Uncaught exception escaped com.google.gwt.core.client.JavaScriptException: (Error): Invalid argument. number: -2147024809 description: Invalid argument. at com.google.gwt.libideas.client.StyleInjector $StyleInjectorImplIE.createElement(Native Method) at com.google.gwt.libideas.client.StyleInjector $StyleInjectorImplIE.injectStyleSheet(StyleInjector.java:56) at com.google.gwt.libideas.client.StyleInjector.injectStylesheet (StyleInjector.java:96) at com.google.gwt.libideas.client.StyleInjector.injectStylesheet (StyleInjector.java:121) at com.google.gwt.widgetideas.client.ValueSpinner.<init> (ValueSpinner.java:181) at com.google.gwt.widgetideas.client.ValueSpinner.<init> (ValueSpinner.java:160) at com.google.gwt.widgetideas.client.ValueSpinner.<init> (ValueSpinner.java:145) at com.google.gwt.widgetideas.client.ValueSpinner.<init> (ValueSpinner.java:120) Compiling the same code and running it in IE produced a runtime error, but Firefox didn't. After a bit of sleuthing we found this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/262161/en-us which indicates that IE will process a maximum of 30 stylesheets in a page. The KB article indicates that the issue applies to IE versions through 6.0 SP1, but I'm seeing the runtime error in IE7 as well. We haven't tried IE8 yet. Unfortunately I don't have any brilliant suggestions as to what to do about this. I suppose the right thing to do would be to modify StyleInjector so it doesn't add duplicate style tags when processing multiple widgets of the same type on a page.
