Mendix Client freezes in IE6

4
Are there any widgets, modules that require ie7 or higher? The application we have been using for a while suddenly stopped working in ie6 (the browser just freezes) One of the changes I have made is displaying the navigator tree. Edit It freezes after the login screen before the homepage is being displayed. The topPane seems to have loaded - and the remember password dialog pops up but then the browser freezes it's not the widget from the app store but the inbuilt navigation tree - it seems to be running ok in ie6 from localhost but not the production server - is that the rewriter? webconfig? UPDATE: As pointed out below this issue was caused by gzip compression being enabled. Instead of disabling it all together I have used a 3rd party tool to set a global rule that changes the url-header for IE6 so that gzip compression is disabled for IE6 only. Please see link for details and instructions gzip bug IE6

Since the problem only occurs in IE6 while running on the production server, it might has to do with IE6's buggy gzip support. Is there a way to test this by turning off gzip compression on the server?

If you're using jetty to serve static data you can disable it in the framework via the "UseGzip" configuration setting (it's a boolean)

Where does it freeze? As soon as you open it or when going to a page with the navigation tree in it? (If these are the same page, try setting the Navigation Tree on a different page and try again).

Edit: Is the Navigation Tree widget on your homepage?
