[Yanel-dev] GWT 2.0 IE7 caveat: do not use com.google.gwt.xml.client.Element.getElementsByTagName("*")

[Guillaume Déflache]

Hi!

I had a hard time diagnosing this, so I'd better share it:

At least on GWT 2.0 and IE7, 
com.google.gwt.xml.client.Element.getElementsByTagName("*") always 
returns an empty NodeList on IE, whereas it behaves as expected on e.g. 
Firefox, i.e. it return all child elements of the given element as per 
the DOM spec.

One would have though GWT would have isolated us from the browser 
peculiarities in their API as many JS libraries do, but apparently not! :/

HTH,
    Guillaume
