              I have tested trunk component-showcase with IE8 and it is working fine, I can see the download dialogue when clicking on dataExporter link.

              Neither Adnan nor I can reproduce this issue with IE8 and IE7.

              I was able to reproduce this with IE7.

              Previously I erroneously tested the outputResource demo, not the dataExporter. The dataExporter works correctly for me on IE7 if I have the popup blocker enabled. However, with the popup blocker disabled, it does not display the dialog to select the location to download to.

              I can reproduce this issue in a non-component showcase example as well.

              Its seems like that its not a regression, and you can reproduce the same behavior with 1.8.2. This problem is identified in past under the following JIRA:
              http://jira.icefaces.org/browse/ICE-4955

              So work around is to hold the Ctrl key while clicking the download link.

              IE6 and IE7 doesn't open the popup until event is initiated by the user. In dataExporter case clicking on a link causes JSF life cycle to be executed, and then our bridge makes a call of window.open that is why IE6 and 7 blocks it.
