Scripts hanging up SM

2009-12-05 Thread Devil's Advocate
I'm using SM 1.1.18 and keep running into various web sites where they 
never finish loading and it eventually tells me that a script has timed 
out, and asks if I want to stop it. Why is that happening so much?

You're not providing much information here. However, if I had to guess,
it would be that the site was browser sniffing, deciding that you must
be running IE (because they don't detect Firefox) and sending you JS
code that won't run on Gecko.

Can you try spoofing your user agent string to include Firefox and see
if you have the same problem?

Good luck.

This also often happens with poorly designed JS code, which executes too 
long. The javascript engine of SM1 also is wayyy slower than the SM2 one.

Yes, I guess I was thinking that it was failing in SM, but not other
browsers, but I guess the OP never said that. Your answer sounds much
better :-)
