      Description

      When using the ace:dataTable with row selection enabled on older IE7 and IE8 browsers, the response time of the browser lags when processing the mouse events and associated style updates to support the mouse "hover" state. These older browsers struggle to process dynamic dom and styling changes, particularly if the size of the browser DOM is large.

      To improve the user experience on these browsers, we should add a new configuration parameter (web.xml) that would globally for the application (or per page via the ice core:config tag) disable the row selection state styling on IE7/8 only. Possible name for the parameter is "org.icefaces.ace.legacybrowsers.disableRowSelectionHoverStyle". Default is false.
