Custom Javascript Component: Using @Stylesheet produces script error in IE8

Vaadin 6 / 7 / 8
1

I have created a custom javascript component in vaadin. I have added several external stylesheets using @Stylesheet annotation. The component works fine, but in IE8 it shows script errors. The number of script errors is equal to the number of external CSS included using the annotation.

The error is:
Object doesn’t support this action.

How do I resolve this?

Thanks
