IE bug with trinidad?
Our testing department found an interesting issue with IE. I am not sure if
anyone has seen this. I created a simple snippet below that captures the
problem. Basically, you have two subforms. One for a main object one for a
related object. So basically to create the issue don't enter any
information and press the add address button. The related object will
complain that you must enter that address. Click anywhere on the page
besides the text field. The browser locks up and mouse pointer turns into
an hourglass. Click outside of the browser pane and hourglass goes away.
So we have verified this behavior in IE6 and IE7 in both XP and Vista. Any
suggestions?

For a future release that would be possible not the current one. If we
change the child objects to full submit instread of partial there is
no problem (except of course it will look bad with a page jump)

One workaround/alternative might be to handle the contents of subform
in a lightweight dialog instead. Trinidad has a dialog framework that
you can use to have the user enter the new information and then save
it. We are using the dialogs on one of our pages to simplify a page
where the user has the option of editing a residential and mailing
address. I have found that using a Trinidad panelFormLayout causes
some field alignment problems when some fields are made to be required
dynamically. In Trinidad, there is a setting to use lightweight
dialogs or not. Lightweight dialogs are implemented using html divs as
opposed to JavaScript Windows.

The idea is that you will not get validation errors about required fields in
the parent object if you are creating child objects and vice versa.
Basically, we have pages where a parent object has one or many of a given
child object. Think like a person object with one or many addresses. So
when you create a new person. and you want to add an address it is done
with ppr in the subform, we don't go to a new page. For example click new
address table of addresses dissapears and a form is rendered. Click save
address form dissapears and address list is rendered.
The snipped i provided was just so you could see the issue without too many
details.

Well, the quick suggestion is not to use subforms. I haven't seen
this issue, but then again, I don't have any subforms in my pages.
I think I remember reading some email threads that didn't recommend
using subforms.
At a high level, what functionality are you trying to achieve?

Are you able to debug this with the IE developer toolbar and see if
there is a busy/glasspane that is loaded on PPR and not dismissed?
