IE v Firefox
So, I have a quirks mode web app using GWT 2.1.2. It runs just fine under Firefox, Sea Monkey (Mozilla derivative), and even Safari (on my iPhone). On IE, however, it pops up the password dialog box, accepts a user id and password, then gives a completely blank screen. On errors on the server side. How do I go about debugging this sort of problem? TIA, Greg -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google Web Toolkit group.

Review those. - GWT.log or logger is your friend -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google Web Toolkit group.

One more thing - why are you using quirks mode? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google Web Toolkit group.

Re: IE v Firefox
One more thing - why are you using quirks mode? Because I'm utterly uninterested in trying to figure out what the dimensions of my panels should be, so I don't ever use any of the *LayoutPanels. Every web app I've ever written has had its size dependent upon the user's input. I can write a lot of code to try to figure out how big things should be, and then resize everything appropriately, or I can use Quirks mode and have the Panels do that for me, while I focus on the issues that are specific to my app. Which do you think is a better use of my time? I've never seen an explanation of why the *LayoutPanels are the way they are (just the bald statement can't give you Swing like sizing in Standards mode), but even if it's a really good reason, it wouldn't really matter. Because as long as I can simply focus my efforts on the problems important to me, that's what I'm going to do.

Re: IE v Firefox
- Install firebug-lite Well, I've taken a look at it, and maybe after I figure out what a bookmarklet is I might feel more comfortable using it. But thanks for the pointer. - Use development mode to step through your code after the login process completes. Yeah, 30 seconds after I posted this it occurred to me that I COULD test this under development mode, not just as a deployed app. :-( What's worse, is that I found the problem, and it's one I'd previously discovered on Dec 8: IE 7 throws an exception when you try to add something to a HorizontalPanel whose horizontal alignment is set to ALIGN_JUSTIFY. Ah, well, at least this time I submitted a bug report.

It may be interesting to see if the problem disappears in Standards mode. Also, there's the X-UA-Compatibility header for IE.

But thanks for the pointer. I don't remember the linkage between bookmarklet and the install. ISTR that the bookmarklet gives you on-demand access to FBL. But I could be wrong. When I'm using IE, it's always for testing, so FBL is always running. - Use development mode to step through your code after the login process completes.
