Mainly the javax.faces.ViewState is missing from the failed tab removal click.

IE seems to be satisfied by the following "no-op"

+++ core/src/main/javascript/application.js (working copy)
@@ -308,6 +308,9 @@
try {
var source = e.source;
var form = formOf(source);
+ if (form.id)

isICEfacesEvent = form['ice.view'] || form['ice.window'];
} catch (ex) {

This allows the form to be detected better and the fact that it is an ICEfaces event to be detected. Perhaps the page modifications by the tabset created DOM instances that were not attached to the live browser DOM causing requests for named elements to fail.

This is fixed in my local copy of the test application. Please close if verified in the main application.

Confirmed working in main application.

The following is believed to be the mobile device problem:

load mediacast, click on a photo
click home (in the case of the bug, home must be pressed twice to work)
on the home page press the browser reload

Test if found form still exists in the document since the form element could have been detached by the update. Force then an exception that in the end makes filterICEfacesEvent() function to execute the passed function for the "success" submit event.

It looks like this actually reverted to the behavior that breaks on iOS Safari; now investigating the following:

if (form && form.id) {
isICEfacesEvent = form['ice.view'] || form['ice.window'];
if (!isICEfacesEvent)

}

There may be a problem with the above on IE since the original form reference is corrupt; IE testing will show this.
