Primefaces running in Tomcat and Windows Server 2008 - windows

I developed a web app with jsf and Primefaces in my PC. If I run it on localhost, it's displayed ok
Now I want to deploy it on a server, so I have installed same jdk version and copied my tomcat directory on a virtual machine.
Application runs right, but it's not displayed right in the same IE navigator! Buttons are hide, heades with wrong size....
The only difference is that my PC has Windows 7 32 bit and the VM it 's an Windows Server 2008 64bits
Any suggestion would be very appreciated
Thanks a lot!

Make sure you have right css in place, I had similar kind of issues where components where displayed properly on chrome but not on IE and for me issue was related to rime.css, make sure you have proper css in page, that probably is the reason for your challenge.

Internet Explorer times out when using Windows 8.1 VM

When using my virtual machine, I'm trying to gain access to the Internet, but unable to get IE to start, when clicking the icon it doesn't react. I've done some research and a couple of hours troubleshooting, but no luck. It does appear to be a problem for some, but they don't have the exact same problem I do.
Here's what I've come across while troubleshooting:
1) OS is windows 8.1 32-bit, but my host machine is 64-bit, because of this there might be compatibility issues. Not much more on this though, no explanation on whether that is the problem at all.
2) My network settings could be wrong, but I'm attached to a bridged adapter, my IP's match for both VM and Host, and I can access the web when I use a web browser app (but the app that can't download anything, so I can't download google chrome or the necessary files I need to study).
3) Others say that the problem is Windows 8.1 itself. That VMs just don't work as they should like Windows 7.
I clicked to uninstall Windows explorer, but it seems it doesn't exist, and it doesn't have an icon on the home screen.
Could it be that the .iso I downloaded did not have IE included?
The original need for the VM was to test Docker containerisation for a report. Should I scrap the whole idea and try for Windows 7 64-bit instead? That's all I can do if I can't find a solution.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

How to debug code written for blackberry browser?

I have added code (blackberry geolocation) to a web page for the Blackberry browser.
Without a windows machine how would someone debug code for the Blackberry browser?
Not sure what machine you are working on, but running a virtual machine may be an option.
I have used VM Fushion6 with my Mac and it worked great. Plus it has a trial period, so it probably wont cost you anything.

GWT Dev Mode For IE8

I see that the GWT Development Mode plugin is available for Internet Explorer 8, but the browser crashes when I start it. The stack trace says there's an error in oophm.dll. I'm running it on a VirtualBox instance with Windows 7. Are there any special steps for setting up dev mode in IE8?
Dev mode doesn’t seem to play well with Windows 7. Try downloading a windows XP vm from:
http://www.modern.ie/en-us/virtualization-tools
You’ll also need to manually install the dev mode for IE 8 plug in from the following location because the built-in link for IE 8 is broken:
http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/tags/2.5.0/plugins/ie/prebuilt/
Consider trying superdevmode?
http://www.gwtproject.org/articles/superdevmode.html
Super Dev mode in GWT (stackoverflow)
Disclaimer: I don't know if it works on IE 8 -- but I think it was designed to work on any modern broser. One main reason for creating it was to get rid of the need of maintaining various browser plugins...

Run IE6 and IE7 side-by-side on Vista

I have a need to run IE6 on my Vista machine that natively runs IE7.
Can someone please help me with set-up / configuration steps?
Thanks,
Dan
Take a look at IETester -- it allows you to test pages in IE 5.5 - 8b2.
Try ie6eolas_nt.zip from http://browsers.evolt.org/?ie/32bit/standalone . I use it on XP; haven't tried Vista.
Just use http://www.xenocode.com/browsers/
You can run older version of IE in Vista and Windows 7 :)
If you have IE7 installed, using Multiple IE's will let you install past versions without any conflicts.
Multiple IE does not work on Vista, you are stuck using a VM of sorts for full IE support. This is critical if you need to test your javascript or debug through CSS.
I managed to use AndLinux + Wine to get this working, but honestly I think the VMWare/Virtual PC/Virtual Box route is simpler.
I've used the multiple IE, but it has javascript problems which aren't their in the normal version.
The IE team advices to use the Internet Explorer Application Compatibility VPC Images. These are virtual pc images with different IE versions.
Supported versions:
IE6 on XP SP3
IE7 on VISTA
IE7 on XP SP3
IE8B2 on XP SP3
For other IE versions you could make your own virtual image.

IE6 + IE7 on a clean XP install

We need to test a website in both IE6 and IE7. We've had bugs appear running on actual windows machines that aren't visible under vmware (?!), so we have an actual windows laptop to do this - but only one. Is it possible to install IE6 and IE7 side-by-side in such a way that they absolutely, positively, behave exactly like they would if there was only one of them? How?
The officially sanctioned way is to use the microsoft-provided Virtual PC installation and VPC images. You don't need additional windows licenses to run these.

Take a look at http://tredosoft.com/Multiple_IE. Bear in mind that running both side by side is not supported by Microsoft (http://blogs.msdn.com/cwilso/archive/2006/02/01/522281.aspx) and there's no guarantee that they will work absolutely fine side by side - a Windows Update could easily break something and sometimes people find conditional comments don't work properly amongst other things. All I can suggest is you give it a go and see how you get on.
The only really reliable way I've found is to use Virtual PC and have an image with IE6 on it, Multiple IE or IETester don't always work exactly the same as the original versions
If you can publish your pages on the web, you can try http://browsershots.org/
I always use it when I have to test a new layout with almost any browser on the planet.
Virtual PC 2007 is the latest version of VPC. You should use the newer version if you're running Windows Vista. VPC 2004 isn't supported for Vista.
