            Description

            If you use a link to open a new window in IE:

            <a href="javascript:void(window.open('/Forum-5165/second.jspx', 'secondWindow', 'location=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=500,height=450,scrollbars=1'))">Link </a>

            This will open a new window. If you go back to the first page in IE, the submits are broken and the page will be non-functional. Works ok in Firefox

                What does the ICEfaces JavaScript console show when you interact with the broken form?

                Assigning to Philip since he has the example running and should be able to fill in the ICEfaces console details.

                Why does the POST occur on IE just before the window.unloaded? This may be a clue to the problem.

                IE fires document.onbeforeunload when an achor refering to another page is clicked (see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms536907.aspx ). ICEfaces relies on this event to dispose the server-side views, thus the view backing up the first page will be disposed when the link is clicked.

                A fix is not really possible since the 'onbeforeunload' event handler cannot differentiate between a real page unload and a click on an anchor reffering to another page.

                The workaround is to change the link slightly to:

                <a href="#" onclick="window.open('calendar.jspx', 'secondWindow','location=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=500,height=450,scrollbars=1');">2nd window</a>
