John Redwood commented on MYFACES-3574:
---------------------------------------

Is this an issue for other browsers?

I am experiencing this exact issue with Chrome 32.0.1700.107  - MyFaces 2.1.7, Primefaces 3.5 - WCEM2.0

I'm trying to get them to upgrade to see if that fixes, but how many SAP consultants does it take to push a basic upgrade... too many..

> The issue resides in the JS code that is responsible for updating javax.faces.ViewState key in the hidden input elements. 
> In IE7 during the second update the lookup for the 'javax.faces.ViewState' named input element fails. The element[name] syntax is used for the lookup which is known to fail for elements with complex names (such as 'javax.faces.ViewState'). 
> When the lookup fails to find the input element a second input element is created which will contain the new javax.faces.ViewState value. The next submit will send two 'javax.faces.ViewState' parameters but only the first one (the oldest) is read by the server state manager . This old key is not known to the server anymore and  this causes a ViewExpired exception to be thrown on the server.
