Description
The dataExporter demo is not working in IE7/8 browsers. Popups are set to be allowed. When the link is clicked to download a window appears for a second a "blip" sound occurs and the window disappears. No errors are thrown.
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.
