Re: GWT 2.1 IE 9 Support

We have done that in the past with no issue what so ever in our
project (which is fairly large with 6 GWT modules). That meta tag only
forces IE to use version 8 rendering engine which GWT 2.1 supports.
Our project also uses GXT which had no issues as well.

But we did notice better performance and speed once we upgraded to GWT
2.3 as IE9 rendering is better than IE8. So, if possible upgrade to
the latest.

Hope that helps.
