Javascript error with simple apex:relatedList (multi-select) in VF page

Hi,

 

we get a Javascript error when we add an apex:relatedList with a multi-select list button to a VF page. It works in Firefox but not IE7 or IE8.

 

It can be reproduced with a few steps:

 

  • - Create a custom object related to Account
  • - Add a custom list button to the object and check
      Display Checkboxes (for Multi-Record Selection)
  • - Add the list button to the related list on the Account page layout

 

Create this simple VF page:

 

<apex:page standardController="Account">
<apex:relatedList subject="{!Account.Id}" list="RelatedListTest__r"/>
</apex:page>

 
 
When you open the page you get the javascript error "Expected ')'. It makes no difference if it is a VF, S-Control or Javascript list button, it always happens if there is at least on button with multi-select checked.
 
Is there a workaround or is it a bug in the page rendering that only SFDC can fix ?
 
Thanks.

This appears to be caused by VF using colons in dom IDs, then referring to those dom IDs as javascript identifiers. Ex:


 


 


<form  action="" id="massActionForm_page:j_id98" method="POST" name="massActionForm_page:j_id98" onsubmit="return verifyChecked(massActionForm_page:j_id98, 'ids', 'Please select at least one row')" >


 


massActionForm_page:j_id98 is not a valid javascript identifier, yet it's being passed into verifyChecked. Some implementations complain about this (IE), some don't.


 


Is there a way to prevent VF from doing this?
