[TRINIDAD-1171] A failing client-side validator while using PPR causes a page hang with hourglass in IE when clicking in a empty spot on the page

• Type: Bug
• Status: Closed
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Won't Fix
• Affects Version/s: 1.0.7-core, 1.0.8-core, 1.0.9-core
• Component/s: Components
• Environment: Windows IE6 and IE7

Description

Code to reproduce:

<tr:form id="testValidationForm">
<tr:inputDate value="#

{test.myDate}

" id="myDate" partialTriggers="validate">
<tr:convertDateTime pattern="dd-MM-yyyy" />
</tr:inputDate>
<tr:commandButton text="Validate" partialSubmit="true" id="validate" />
</tr:form>

Steps to reproduce:
1. fill in something in the date field so the (date) validation will fail (eg. "hello")
2. press "Validate"
3. Now click on a spot on the page (but within the body area)

Now the hourglass shows in IE. The only way to get rid of it is to click outside the body of the page of on the toolbar of IE.

I traced the problem back to bug TRINIDAD-952 whose fix is causing the problem, after reverting the change everything works ok in 1.0.8 .
