Ext.onReady not working intermittently with IE 8

**doinIT** · 25 May 2009 9:07 PM

Has anyone had any problems with IE 8 and ExtJS???

I've just upgraded to IE 8 and now the Ext.onReady function rarely gets called.

The page only works 1 out of every 5 or so loads.

After creating a bare minimum Ext app (see below), the problem still exists.

Any ideas.

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
	<head>
		<title>Sample App thats not working dammit!</title>	
    <!-- Include Ext and app-specific scripts: -->
    <script type="text/javascript" src="../../shared/libs/ext/adapter/ext/ext-base.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="../../shared/libs/ext/ext-all.js"></script>
    
		<script>
			
			Ext.onReady(function(){
				// I only see this message one out of every 5 or so attempts to load the page.
		  	alert("BANG!");   
			});
			
		</script>

	</head>
	<body>
		Hello
	</body>
</html>

Are you using 2.2.1? Does this behavior change if you remove/change the doctype?

Just downloaded 3.0 and problem still exists.

Also removed doc type and tried different version with no change to result.

Maybe it's an issue with Apache???

The page just sit's there waiting even though all the HTML has been output to the browser.

If you hit the stop button, the Ext.onReady event fires.

I've narrowed it down to when I include ext-all.js.

As soon as I include the file like this.

<script type="text/javascript" src="$server/shared/libs/ext/ext-all.js"></script>

The the onload event will only fire intermittently.

This is when using Ext 3.0 on IE 8.

No script errors.

We are getting the same freeze up in IE8 only. Inconsistently, onReady doesn't fire, but once you click Stop, it runs.

I applied the meta tag to force compatibility, but using IE=8 messes up our page pretty good, cause of css considerations we've made for layout and such for IEs. I then tried using IE=EmulateIE8, to no avail--still freezes.

Any ideas?

Yeah IE loves to cache I use nocache tags when developing so I know its a fresh page.

Also seen a faster response from IE lol.

Try:

HTML Code:

<div>Hello</div>

and/or (more likely) this.

i have fix it by another way:

don't include :
$server/shared/libs/ext/ext-all.js

you should include like this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/AuditSystem/AS_INCLUDE/pkgs/ext-foundation.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/AuditSystem/AS_INCLUDE/pkgs/cmp-foundation.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/AuditSystem/AS_INCLUDE/pkgs/ext-dd.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/AuditSystem/AS_INCLUDE/pkgs/data-foundation.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/AuditSystem/AS_INCLUDE/pkgs/data-json.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/AuditSystem/AS_INCLUDE/pkgs/data-grouping.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/AuditSystem/AS_INCLUDE/pkgs/resizable.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/AuditSystem/AS_INCLUDE/pkgs/window.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/AuditSystem/AS_INCLUDE/pkgs/state.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/AuditSystem/AS_INCLUDE/pkgs/data-list-views.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/AuditSystem/AS_INCLUDE/pkgs/pkg-tabs.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/AuditSystem/AS_INCLUDE/pkgs/pkg-buttons.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/AuditSystem/AS_INCLUDE/pkgs/pkg-toolbars.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/AuditSystem/AS_INCLUDE/pkgs/pkg-tips.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/AuditSystem/AS_INCLUDE/pkgs/pkg-tree.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/AuditSystem/AS_INCLUDE/pkgs/pkg-menu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/AuditSystem/AS_INCLUDE/pkgs/pkg-forms.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/AuditSystem/AS_INCLUDE/pkgs/pkg-grid-foundation.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/AuditSystem/AS_INCLUDE/pkgs/pkg-grid-editor.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/AuditSystem/AS_INCLUDE/pkgs/pkg-grid-property.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/AuditSystem/AS_INCLUDE/pkgs/pkg-grid-grouping.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/AuditSystem/AS_INCLUDE/ext-lang-zh_CN.js"></script>

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/AuditSystem/EXT_CSS/GroupHeaderPlugin.css" charset="GBK"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/AuditSystem/EXT_CSS/TreeGrid.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="/AuditSystem/AS_INCLUDE/GroupHeaderPlugin.js" charset="GBK"></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='/AuditSystem/AS_INCLUDE/RowExpander.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='/AuditSystem/AS_INCLUDE/TreeGrid.js'></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/AuditSystem/AS_INCLUDE/MultiCellSelectionModel.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/AuditSystem/AS_INCLUDE/BufferView.js"></script>

then it is ok.

I have the same problem. It's cause by the fact that document.readyState never take value "COMPLETE". Then Ext.onready is never call and checkReadyState method is call all 2 ms. Also, onLoad isn't also never call.
I can't put <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8"/>, my pages aren't compatible.

Do you plan to fixe this, or have you got a solution ?

Thanks.
