Scott, thanks for the answer, I was giving up my hope!
I did the debugging you asked for and from what I found, I was able to find the problem and a workaround myself :-). I'm not sure though if it should work as it was before. At least with Firefox on Linux it did, but I'm no browser and JavaScript expert. What happened is this: I'm trying to build an application, where the GWT module should react on an outside parameter. As a possibility for doing this, I had found the following solution on the Internet. First, I created a little JavaScript inside the host page (i.e. a host servlet) with a variable for the parameter: <script language="javascript"> var event="aa00aa00aa00aa00aa01"; </script> Then this variable is read from inside the GWT module by using a small native JavaScript method: public native String getEventRID()/*-{ return $wnd.event; }-*/; The problem now seems to be, that I called my variable "event" (as in performance). If I change the variable name to something else, it works. As I said, I'm more of a Java expert and have nearly no JavaScript knowledge and don't know if I'm not allowed to create a variable named "event", at least in Internet Explorer. BTW, I tested it with IE6 and IE7, but not IE8. In case you might want to analyze this further, here are the debugging values: In IDispatchImpl.callMethod() cl = com.google.gwt.dev.shell.compilingclassloa...@ea5140 jthis = null params = [VT_BSTR{aa00aa00aa00aa00aa01}] method = static boolean com.google.gwt.user.client.DOM.previewEvent (com.google.gwt.user.client.Event) In SwtOleGlue.convertVariantsToObjects() i = 0 Thanks again and GWT rocks!
