I recently tried to test a JSF application on IE9 and found that all Ajax requests fail with the exception MalformedXML complaining about an undefined object when trying to access the removeChild attribute. I observed problems with both MyFaces 2.0.5 and mojarra 2.1.1. Are there any known limitations or prerequisites for supporting IE 9?
To reproduce the problem, I nailed it to a simple test case consisting of a single ajax request:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html">
<f:view contentType="text/html">
<h:head>
<h:outputScript name="jsf.js" library="javax.faces" target="head"/>
</h:head>
<h:body>
<h:form id="#{testBean.idForm}">
<h1>Test of IE9 Ajax</h1>
<h:panelGroup id="#{testBean.idDiv}" layout="block">
Text: <h:outputText value="#{testBean.text}"/>
<br/>
<h:commandLink
action="#{testBean.onAction}"
value="click me">
<f:ajax render="#{testBean.idDiv}"/>
</h:commandLink>
</h:panelGroup>
</h:form>
</h:body>
</f:view>
</html>

package ietest;

@ManagedBean

public class TestBean {
private int clickCount;
private String idForm="testForm";
private String idDiv="testDiv";
public String getText(){
String text = "you clicked " + clickCount +" times";
System.out.println("Return text " + text);
return text;
}
public String onAction(){
System.out.println("onAction invoked");
clickCount++;
return "iebug";
}
public String getIdDiv() {
return idDiv;
}
public String getIdForm() {
return idForm;
}
}
