Upgrade Web Application support from IE8 to IE9

I got a task to investigate the IE 9 issue if we upgrade the system to from IE8. It's kinds of frustrated during the period. In the end, I am pretty happy I finished it.

IE 8 user the Quirks mode which  means not standard with the http://www.w3.org/standards/agents/browsers

IE 9 by default still using quirks mode, however, IE10 will use standard mode by default. So, it's good we test IE 9 in standard mode now to avoid the future issue with IE10.

Blog the knowledge for the reference of future project.

IE  8 vs IE 9(standard mode)
#1  createElement  method
IE 8 : will  support  the format like : .createElement("<span id='xx'>abc</span>");
IE 9 : you can only do with steps.  
        createElement("span"); .setAttribute("id","xx");

#2 getElementById method
<div name=”nameOfDiv”>
    …
</div>

In standards mode (IE9) the below code will not work anymore.

document.getElementById(“nameOfDiv”)  --- This will return null in IE9

 Too fix this, need to explicit define the id value.

<div name=”nameOfDiv” id=”nameOfDiv”>
   …

</div>


#3 document.all.framename.src
 <iframe style="display: none; width: 100%;" scrolling="no" name="framename"  id="framename"/>

IE 8:  value will be the related path /../foldername
ie 9:  will be the all url, e.g. http://127.0.0.1:8080/projectname/..../foldername

Stretch a row if data overflows in jasper reports

It is very common that some columns of the report need to stretch to show all the content in that column. But  if you just specify the property " stretch with overflow' to that column(we called text field in jasper report world) , it will just stretch that column and won't change other columns, so the row could be ridiculous. Haven't find the solution from internet yet. So I just review the properties in iReport one by one and find two useful properties(the bold  highlighted in example below) which resolve the problems.   example: <band height="20" splitType="Stretch" > <textField isStretchWithOverflow="true" pa...

Live - solving the jasper report out of memory and high cpu usage problems

I still can not find the solution. So I summary all the things and tell my boss about it. If any one knows the solution, please let me know.
