Xpages - tabbed panel IE bug

Hi everyone,

I need a little help with tabbed panels.

Let’s take the next scenario: I have a tabbed panel with two tabs, on the second tab I have a table with a row with some javascript code and a button (button2) that will execute this code. The row has conditional visibility that is controlled by a viewScope variable and a button (button1) will toggle this variable.

If I go to the second tab and click on button1 then I can see my table row but if I try to call the javascript function defined inside the table with button2 I get an ‘Object expected’ error.

This works fine in FF, the problem exists only on IE (version independently). It looks IE renders the page with a tabbed panel differently, and the defined js functions are not visible even though they are on the page.

I hope it wasn’t too messy, here is the sample code for it:

<xp:tabbedPanel id="tabbedPanel1">

	<xp:tabPanel label="New Tab" id="tabPanel1"></xp:tabPanel>

	<xp:tabPanel label="New Tab2" id="tabPanel2">		

		<xp:button id="button1" value="button1">

			<xp:eventHandler event="onclick" submit="true"

				refreshMode="partial" refreshId="tab2Table">

				<xp:this.action><![CDATA[#{javascript:viewScope.show = true}]]></xp:this.action>

			</xp:eventHandler>

		</xp:button>		



		<xp:table id="tab2Table">

			<xp:tr rendered="#{javascript:viewScope.show}">

				<xp:td>		

					<xp:scriptBlock type="text/javascript">

						<xp:this.value>

							<![CDATA[				

							function test1() {

								alert("test1");

							}

							]]>

						</xp:this.value>

					</xp:scriptBlock>	

				</xp:td>

				<xp:td>

					<xp:button id="button2" value="button2">

						<xp:eventHandler event="onclick" submit="false">

						<xp:this.handlers>

							<xp:handler type="text/javascript">

								<xp:this.script><![CDATA[test1();]]></xp:this.script>

							</xp:handler>

						</xp:this.handlers>

						</xp:eventHandler>

					</xp:button>

				</xp:td>						

			</xp:tr>					

		</xp:table>		

	</xp:tabPanel>

</xp:tabbedPanel>

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

As a last resort again I tried to set the defer to true and it solved the problem…
