Internet Explorer Hang

[Guest]

I've discovered a strange hang with IE6 that I can't figure out, on a web
site I'm working on. IE hangs hard whenever I click on an image in this page:
http://www.roundscompany.com/avian1.html IE must be killed and restarted to
use it again. This works fine with all other browsers I've tried it with
(Firefox, Netscape, and Opera) and I don't see any obvious html, css, or
javascript errors with the validators and javascript error console I've
tried. IE also works fine when I load the page locally from my PC. Its only
when I load the page from the server over the web, that it hangs and it hangs
every time. Restarting IE and reboot the PC don't help. My IE is version
6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519IC I updated it to day to be sure that
I had all the lates updates, but that did not help. I'm running XP Pro, with
SP2. When it hangs, IE has this message at the bottom of the page:

Downloading data http://www.roundscompany.com/index.css...

Does anyone have any idea how to solve this?

No answer for you but I can confirm it refuses to work here and locks up IE
too... FWIW putting it in the trusted zone was no use either so I don't
think it's a security restriction.

Are you sure all your links are correct, such as the stylesheet and .js
file?

Have you tried putting ../ (dot dot slash) in front so they are referenced
from the base folder? It should make no difference really but my IE seems to
be not finding something.

Do you see any sign of the popup?

What happens if you use a script debugger with it?

My guess is that it's having trouble parsing this
and not generating the intended line:

<extract from="rounds.js" function="mkPhotoEntry">
document.writeln('<table width="230" height="230" onClick=\'openWinandDoc(\"' + catname + '\", \"' + pcat + '\",\"' + pfilename +
'\",\"' + pwidth + '\",\"' + pdesc + '\")\'><tr>');
</extract>

Note that the extract was originally all in one line.
It will get split, even with my linesize of 132.
Notepad with Word Wrap unchecked showed the cursor
position past the last semicolon was Ln 23, Col 186.
I'll monitor where OE splits it to try to minimize that damage
but I can't see any point in trying to edit it more than that
manually.


I don't know how you would prove that it had generated what it was supposed
to without using a script debugger. E.g. we can't see it with View Source.
I also tried to see if we could detect it using FileMon (by monitoring writes
to Temp, which would include the TIF) but was unsuccessful.


Good luck

It work fine for me. When click on an image it opens a new windows. A popup
blocker could block this. like I said it works great for me.
