Working with a single workbook over a long period of time which includes navigating between tabs could encounter a CSS rules limit in Internet Explorer versions 6-9. Tableau was adding the CSS rules on each tab switch within the workbook which could accumulate to the IE limit. We now clear the unneeded rules when leaving a tab. |
