We seem to be experiencing stall with IE 7. We have a struts based application with some GWT 2.0/SmartGWT 2.0 based modules that are centrally loaded in the base page of the application.
At times, some of the pages stall, the status bar shows a progress indicator and we cannot access anything on the page, and it hangs indefinitely. This problem seems to be occurring inconsistently.
Have anyone else experienced any similar issues?
Stalls doing what? Just stalls at random no matter what action or inaction the user is doing? Does this problem only occur in IE 7? What other browsers have you tested this on? Have you tried the latest SmartGWT to see if it fixes anything?
Just stalls in random actions in random struts actions during the page loads.
It seems to be fine in Chrome and FireFox.
I’ve seen this before in IE7 during loading, but on low memory systems. What are the specs on the client?
These are pretty good systems with 2-3 GB RAM, 80GB+ HDD etc.
It seems to be recurring pretty frequently when the IE is reset to factory defaults, increasing the temporary internet file disk space size from the default 50m to 1024 causes the issue to go away for some time, but comes back eventually.
We put the nocache.js in head section of the base jsp, do we need to move that to the body?
In general, .nocache should be the last thing you include in the body.
Even if the div tag that invokes the GWT module is first in the body?
Well just add the .nocache include in the body period, see if that helps.
Came across this post:

We had consolidated all GWT modules into single GWT module and it generates one XXX.nocache.js file, is that a problem with IE 7? Single module consolidation helped with the compile times considerably and also reduced the number of times the sc folder with 2000+ files were being created in each module, but this seems to backfire all of a sudden with IE 7.
This probably needs to be researched withing either SmartGWT or GWT.
