        When the bridge code tries to update the dom for the style properties of an input element, IE somehow throws an "invalid argument" exception when the property is "font" and the new value is an empty string. (i.e. font property not specified.) All other properties work OK. When the font property is not specified, assigning an empty string is the same as not assigning it all. Therefore we can skip the font property assignment under this condition to avoid the IE exception.

        Seems IE throws an exception when the font style property is being updated in the DOM.

        The error occurs when the command button is present with the tab set. If we take out the command button or even replace it with a text input component, there will be no error.
