FormsPublisher - Collapse All makes fields un-updatable

I have a DCT that is pretty big (probably near 300 fields)

When I press the "collapse all" button and then press "expand all" all the fields are not updatable. They appear to be read-only.

This does not appear to be an issue in Chrome, but it is an issue in IE-8. ALL of my content managers use IE since it's the corporate standard.

Has anyone experienced/corrected this issue?

As a possible workaround, if you find out that your form works in IE7 then you may be able to add this via straight JavaScript or with jQuery.

[PHP]<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />[/PHP]
jQuery reference page. See .before() and .after().

When you say "they appear to be read-only" have you verified that they are, in fact, read-only?

I ask because I remember on one project we had issues where the fields were rendered incorrectly (it was a long time ago, I cannot remember if it was read-only fields that weren't grayed-out or writeable fields that were grayed-out) - but the fields behaved correctly regardless of how they were rendered.

Beyond that, you could disabling your FormAPI code and see if the problem persists. If it doesn't, then there may be something in your FormAPI code that's causing the issue (perhaps you're conditionally marking fields as read-only or writeable and the act of trying to expose 300 (+/-) fields is stressing that code beyond what it can handle?
