We couldn't get our JSF/myFaces/Tobago to switch tabs or buttons to work for the longest time within Internet Explorer. Everything worked fine in Firefox.
 
We fixed the problem by eliminating the _javascript_ we had included to 1) handle IE's inability to support PNG graphics (& replaced them with JPGs), 2) removed the _javascript_ for our client side pop-up calendar control.(replacing it with Tobago's tx: calendar), 3) disabled AJAX. So now no additional _javascript_ exists within our application and it works on IE. 
 
Well sort of.....
 
Now the application flashes like crazy within IE - because no AJAX....
If I turn on Ajax, as soon as I switch tabs, I get a _javascript_ error (of course it's an unusable error "error at line 1277 character 6".... and stops working until I reload the entire screen.
 
If I turn on IE debugging and launch IE with our application at the command prompt using the debugger:  ntsd -g iexplore.exe http://localhost:9090
As soon as I switch tabs for the first time, I receive three identical lines on the command prompt saying: "Unknown exception - code e0000001 (first chance)
 
 
Arghhhhhhh,...... I've been battling this daily for 2 months..... and our customers are getting ugly...
 
 
Help!
