IE6 Crashes with AJAX

[Guest]

IE Version: 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.050301-1526

Hi,

I use AJAX requests to load information into a wesite, however everytime the
AJAX function is called the browser crashes - i get the dialogue box up
saying IE has encountered a problem and needs to close.

Can anyone give me any insight to why this is happening.?

The page works perfectly in IE7, FF and is xhtml transitional compliant and
css valid.

I can not post a url here because it is protected content.

Thanks

When that error message comes up, click the blue link by "To see what this
error report contains - click here". Need to know the App name and Mod name.

Or go to this article - Description and Availability of Internet Explorer
Error Reporting Tool
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[LN];Q276550 - scroll down
for how to disable the Error Reporting Tool, and then let Windows capture
the error the next time. There will then be an error box with a Details
button. Need to know the XXXX caused a YYYY in module ZZZZ part. You can
leave out the stack dump numbers. Also need to know the version of Windows
the user is running.

If you suspect AJAX is causing the problem, see -

Wow that's a really handy tool thanks Jon.

I found by going through my code line by line that the problem was buried in
the way IE6 handles the DOM.

When I chained more than one AJAX call which maipulated the DOM IE6 couldn't
handle it. However by inserting a pause of 1000 milliseconds the chained
calls worked without crashing the browser. I am no expert in IE6 however this
suggests the browser engine requires more time to load the DOM in IE6 than in
later versions of IE and FF.
