[gentoo-user] Konqueror and javascript
After upgrading to kde 3.5.2, I noticed that simply going to http://www.microsoft.com :-) crashed konqueror consistently even on different machines. Enabling javascript debug, I found that, before crashing, a javascript error was produced. Then I did some tests to verify konqueror's javascript support status, and I found that lots of sites which use javascript are not working (or only partially working) with konqueror, while all seems well with firefox and ie. Now, I have no special knowledge of javascript, so my question is: are these problems due (as happened some times in the past) to konqueror being too strict (and firefox and ie being more permissive) about javascript or, rather, is konqueror's javascript support that is buggy (although this sounds strange to me)? Thanks -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Thanks I think I saw this a week or so ago on linuxquestions forums. You may want to check there too. From what I have read, M$ does not use the internet standard and web browsers that do seem to crash. I recently ran into something similiar with shockwave on the disney website.

Konqueror doesn't handle some complex scripts wery well. Use any mozilla clone or ie. Even opera's doing better nowadays. Sasha -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Thanks The microsoft.com crashing is a known problem that is fixed in kde 3.5.3. http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=128595 -- Raymond Lewis Rebbeck -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Hmm, I didn't seem to have such issues running 3.5.2 (now 3.5.3.). What do you have under Browser Identification for Konqueror configuration? This can have an effect as to what javascript a web site sends to your browser to execute, and what it expects your browser/platform to be capable of. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Still running 3.5.2 and can confirm that the M$ bug works flawlessly ;-) However, if you go to Browser Identification tab and untick the box Add operating system name it does not crash anymore. -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
