Google GWT Application shows blank page in IE8
January 12th, 2010 Posted in Uncategorized
I wanted to try a GWT application based on the new layout classes introduced in Google Web Toolkit 2.0 with the Internet Explorer 8. To my surprise the IE 8 showed only an empty page. Switching to IE7 standards mode with the following meta tag solved the problem.
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7"/>If you know the reason for this behavior please leave a comment.
