My application is currently running with JSF 1.2 and rich faces 3.3.3 Final. I'm having issues with rendering rich faces skin over Internet Explorer 9 Final version. It doesn't load rich faces skin, and from network tab i can view that this file is received as 'text/html' rather than 'text/css' with a get status of 500. I got this information from the following link, IE9 + RichFaces Rendering problem

A possible solution to it is to move to RF4 but for it we have to move to JSF 2.0 and thats very time consuming process and very expensive too.

I have tried the solution specified in thread http://community.jboss.org/thread/156720 by Kenneth Christensen as well, but still it didnt help me ;-(

Can any one please suggest a more suited solution for it :-)

Thanks, Ubaid

    Are you sure the browser is definitely switching to IE-8 mode, did you put the meta tag directly after the opening head tag?, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc288325%28VS.85%29.aspx#CodeSnippetContainerCode2 where it mentions that the The X-UA-Compatible header "must appear in the header of the webpage (the HEAD section) before all other elements except for the title element and other meta elements. – reevesy Jun 28 '11 at 17:39

  • This is the best answer - fixing the library with the issue (Sarissa). All the other solutions cause later IE versions to emulate IE8 - losing features added in the newer browsers (CSS3 etc.). – Michael Jan 22 '16 at 09:51

for me "IE=EmulateIE8" did not work. Neither in meta tag nor in filter. I changed it to "IE=8" and it worked.

put this in your page:

<head>
 <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7; IE=EmulateIE8">
</head>

A change was made to CSS handling in IE6, IE7, and IE8 to block all cross-origin stylesheets unless they have been delivered with the proper HTTP response header:

Content-Type: text/css
