This is a registered bug (Bug ID: 6515708) but does anyone have a workaround for it?
Scenario
- javascript calls OpenDialog() method in applet
- applet starts new thread which opens the AWT FileDialog
- on completion, the file name is read and the javascript method OnDialogComplete is called
- At this point the dialog is disposed and (on some browsers only) the browser hangs.
We have a mixture of XP with IE6/7 and Vista with IE7 but unfortunately the bug appears randomly on any of them.
Ideas anyone?
