- This is what we had to do as well, but I put in a check using dojo.isIE(9, 9) so this hack is only applied if 9 is used.

- Problem with this is it's supposed to be circumventable, though I don't recall how. It is the only "solution" for the nonce.

- The dojo-interest list indicates they have no intention of updating dojo before 1.6 to support this latest M$ debacle, which strikes me as shooting one's self in the foot. IBM hasn't acted like they're going to do anything about it, either. In a perfect world people would just avoid ie 9 in droves because it breaks things, but we all know that's not going to happen. The thing I find vexing is how little anyone seems to care that it utterly borks XPage functionality and the only recourse is some hack of dubious repute.

Hope this helps...

Re: Dojo issues with IE9

Thank you David and Ryan for your responses, a great help. I am now using the following in the BeforeRenderResponse event:

//This forces page to load in IE8 compatibility
try {
if (context.getUserAgent().isIE(9, 9)) {
           var exCon = facesContext.getExternalContext();
               var response = exCon.getResponse();
               response.setHeader("X-UA-Compatible", "IE=EmulateIE8");
}
} catch (e) {
}
