Problem loading generated (X)HTML in Internet Explorer dialog window

Question

Hi,
Using JDeveloper 11.1.1.4.0.
In our ADF application we are providing a preview functionality to letters that the users can generate. The preview XHTML code is generated by stored procedures and displayed in a dialog window as an iframe. This works fine in Firefox but in Internet Explorer there is only a spinning blue circle where the iframe is supposed to be and the preview is not loading. If I copy-paste the preview URL to a separate IE window it loads up correctly, so there is something wrong in the way the dialog window tries to display the data.
This is the preview JSPX page:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" version="2.1"
          xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
          xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
          xmlns:af="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces/rich">
  <!-- jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8"/ -->
  <f:view afterPhase="#{backingBeanScope.RenderBean.checkPhase}">
    <af:document id="d1" rendered="false">
      <af:messages id="m1"/>
    </af:document>
  </f:view>
</jsp:root>The preview page is embedded as an iframe on the dialog window:
<f:facet name="center">
            <af:inlineFrame id="if1"
                            source="/faces/ActualTemplatePreview?messageTemplateId=#{pageFlowScope.MessageTemplateId}&amp;isOpenTemplate=#{pageFlowScope.IsOpenTemplate}&amp;messageText=#{pageFlowScope.MessageText}"
                            styleClass="AFStretchWidth"/>
          </f:facet>And this is the backing bean:
public class RenderBean{
    public RenderBean() {
        super();
    private BindingContainer _b(){
      return BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
    public void checkPhase(PhaseEvent event){
        if(PhaseId.RENDER_RESPONSE == event.getPhaseId()){
          final ResponseWriter writer = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getResponseWriter();
          try{
            final Object xhtml = _b().getOperationBinding("GetXhtml").execute();
            writer.append(xhtml.toString());
          }catch(IOException e){
            throw new RuntimeException(e);
}GetXhtml method is defined in the application module and calls the stored procedure which generates the code.
Any ideas what might be the problem? I read some older threads about Internet Explorer having problems with MIME types when displaying PDF inline (see e.g. {thread:id=2361293}), could this somehow relate to displaying (X)HTML code too?

Answer 1

Could be something with an IE conditional statement in the code used to place the Flash on the Web Page. Post a link to the page and let us take a look.
