Hi, I found it: The error was caused by the use of SVG! IE 8 does not support SVG!
So far, so good! But I am not happy with the hard way I had to go: I have repeatedly commented out parts of my code, recompile, build and deploy, until I found the problem. - When I go to the homepage of the SVG library (svgjs.com) with IE8, I get a nice message telling that my browser does not support SVG. - When I go to the homepage of another SVG library (snapsvg.io), I get an error message pointing into the JS file of the library, wich is also ok. But when I load my app into IE 8, I get nothing, only this stupid statement that "undefined" is "null". It's clear that there may be a library function which tells if the browser supports SVG. I will look for such a function in the first library. But until today I did not know that SVG was causing the problem. What could I have done differently to find the problem more quickly? BTW: Both SVG libraries seem to not support IE8. Do you know another library that provides a fallback, e. g. to Flash, when the browser does not support SVG? Or would you simply ignore such an old browser? Thanks Magnus -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
