I found the problem. Some problem of jquery with IE8 and IE9 on Windows 7.
There were 2 issues. 1. in dfshealth.js there was an extra comma(,) in array definition and this was causing a js error. var BEANS = [ {"name": "nn", "url": "/jmx?qry=Hadoop:service=NameNode,name=NameNodeInfo"}, {"name": "nnstat", "url": "/jmx?qry=Hadoop:service=NameNode,name=NameNodeStatus"}, {"name": "fs", "url": "/jmx?qry=Hadoop:service=NameNode,name=FSNamesystemState"}, {"name": "mem", "url": "/jmx?qry=java.lang:type=Memory"}, ]; Removing extra comma(,) solved first issue. Found hint about this here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12573470/each-in-ie8-seems-to-get-counted-one-too-many-times 2. in dfshealth.html and explorer.html JSON object was not being initialized. Adding <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EDGE" /> to both html files solved issue. Found this here, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4715373/json-object-undefined-in-internet-explorer-8-dom I will post a patch for the same in Jira soon.
