Partial Refreshes not working in IE 8 but work fine in Firefox or chrome

Ok, is it just me, or does IE, especially IE 8 have problems with partial refreshes of fields?
 
I have an 8.5.2 application that is using ojdbc to read oracle and do success refreshes of the next level to drill down, that is, a selection of one checkbox reloads the selectable values of the next checkbox down.  It works great in Firefox and Chrome, but IE 8 does not.  Oh, did I mention the fields are in a tabbed panel?  they are.  moving to another tab and then back, the checkboxes update, so obviously it has to do with getting the refresh to fire inside the tab.
 
Any ideas? 
 
Thanks!

Just a few ideas

 
- think of the partial refresh as just another ajax/javascript event being triggered,
- try and find an error by using IE debug tools.
- create a new xpages and move in pieces to it one by one to find the object causing the error.
 
- will it help to trigger the partial refresh using your own code

Hi,
 
sounds like the "onChange"-Problem in IE. Just look in this forum for more details.

Hi,
 
my case is not exactly the same but the cause might be the same. I have an input text field with SSJS onchange event. With IE8 I kept getting dialog box saying something like "not able to do partly update, submit the whole page?" (the dialog box was in my language and this is a rough translation).
 
I started to remove stuff from the page to see what causes this and the last thing I removed was the <p> tags around the input control. After that it started to work!!! The <p> tags are part of the corporate layout here but looks like I will need to find a replacement for them.
