AJAX file upload fails in IE8 due to Wicket.Ajax.handleMultipart() sniffing 
wicket:body tags as an HTML body element when running Wicket in development mode
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: WICKET-3075
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-3075
             Project: Wicket
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: wicket
    Affects Versions: 1.4.10
            Reporter: Liam Clarke-Hutchinson
            Priority: Minor
         Attachments: bodySniffing.patch, reproduction_body_bug.zip

To reproduce:

1. Run provided quickstart project
2. Open in IE8. 
3. Upload a file. 

Expected behaviour: 

File is uploaded, and some basic information about uploaded file is displayed.

Observed behaviour:

IllegalStateException is thrown.


The IllegalStateException is being thrown because the form is being submitted 
as a normal form. This is because the JS in handleMultipart that traverses up 
the DOM looking for the actual form is checking tagnames, and in IE8, the 
tagName of a <wicket:body> is body, so as soon as it hits a wicket:body, it 
returns false. I've provided a patch that checks for identity against 
document.body - an alternative is to check that the form.tagUrn is empty, as it 
would be for a normal HTML element.
