Seems similar to the older ICE-8703 issue but also happens on the Overview page, which is navigated to directly?

If this is not occurring on IE8 also it is not related to the compatibility library required for ace:chart. This would mean that this is some new IE7 specific failure.

This issue is distinct from ICE-8703 because it cannot be reproduced in IE8.

Rarely does this issue causes an 'invalid argument', more often it causes the following error:

SCRIPT5007: Unable to get value of the property 'initElement': object is null or undefined
ace-chart.uncompressed.js.jsf?ln=icefaces.ace&v=3_4_0_130617, line 297 character 17
Could not complete the operation due to error 80020101.

Attempting to catch execution with a breakpoint on that line always causes IE to crash.

The code at that line is:
this.initCanvas = function(canvas) {
if ($.jqplot.use_excanvas)

return canvas;
};

The excanvas compat library is failing initialization / parsing on IE7 only.

This is resulting from a somewhat-known timing issue in IE7:

The only suggestion to workaround it I've found is that all chart initializations must occur at body onLoad - of course, that is impossible for an ICEfaces application as onLoad is only called when a GET request is completed.

There may very well not be any solution to this.

Due to the complex nature of the issue (doesn't occur all the time, depends on unknown combination of factors in the application), and the fact that there is no reliable solution that could readily be applied to the ICEfaces use-cases, marking this as Won't Fix and considering this a Known Issue for the ace:chart component when running in IE7.

Removing the style classes from the ace:panel content div resolves this issue. Why this is the case is undetermined.

ICE-9345 - Removed ace:panel from content-template.xhtml to fix ace:chart on IE7

chart - Dynamic Chart IE-7
When clicking on a cell or row in the table the Letter Axis for the chart bottom does not render entirely. (screen)

Last issue has been spun off into a separate JIRA: ICE-9375
