I'm using IE7 Javascript library to make my IE6 browser more compliant. The
library is being used on a Rainbow Portal .NET v1.5 website which has the
layout/theme Zen-starter active. The problem is when I have the library
active for the page and mixed with this theme/layout setting IE6 (for Windows
XP/2K) completely locks up. Firefox works perfectly fine and quickly.
The webpage attempts to display a dropdown menu making heavy use of CSS and
<UL>, <LI> tags. From my investigation, the standard CSS Hover pseudo attrib
is being used, which I figure is the reason for IE7's usage (to translate all
HOVER attribs to a JS equiv for IE6). I've disabled the IE7 library and IE6
eventually displays the page without locking up. I've used:
TIDY.EXE -ascii -i -f errors.txt -m PageFreeze.htm
to cleanup the HTML and match up any possibly missing tags but still the
same effect. I've even copied the text into W3C's Validator without luck.
One thing i did notice is that the IE6 browser does freeze preventing me from
dragging the scrollbar or anything else within the entire browser (insisting
on being END PROCESSED) but eventually (after 5 mins or more) the web page
menu system appears, however when i hover my mouse over it the entire screen
freezes again, and after another 5 mins or more the menu dropdown appears.
This occurs for each menu item i hover over.
Please, does anyone have any clues on why this locking up is occurring and
its resolution?
You can see the test page here:
(This page does not freeze IE6 because IE7 Library has been disabled in
tags): http://www.spunge.org/~tony/help3/PageNoFreeze.htm
(This page freezes IE6. IE7 Library is enabled in tags):
http://www.spunge.org/~tony/help3/PageFreeze.htm
(This page momentarily freezes IE6 but only contains a single menu item):
http://www.spunge.org/~tony/help3/PageSingleMenuNoFreeze.htm
The pages need to not freeze and show dropdown menus if all is ok. Just a
oddity, notice that when you hover over Government and it underlines the
word. It seems to take a second longer than when the underline is placed
beneath other words. Also I've tried removing much of the UL/LI menu items
and leaving one or two and the freezing of IE has gone down from 5 mins+ to a
few seconds and the menu dropdown appears. Again, Im suspecting the depth of
the menu system and IE7 library are at fault. But a solution to have the
menus in full is what Im after.
Thank you.
