Re: [WSG] IE5 Mac hanging on loading a page
Mike This page: Mike http://morst.signify.co.nz/templates/ig3-template.asp Mike which validates as HTML 4.01 Strict, causes a consistent problem with Mike IE5 Mac, whereby the page won't load or display. I end up having to Mike Force Quit the browser. To anyone still worrying about this :) A floated element on the page, a span, didn't have a width declared, and needed one for IE5 Mac. That was causing the hanging. It is a known problem, but one I'd forgotten about. Thanks to Philippe Wittenbergh for the solution!

Re: [WSG] IE5 Mac hanging on loading a page
Hi Mike, there are some combinations of CSS that cause IE/MAC to hang. This page has more: http://www.l-c-n.com/IE5tests/index.shtml ./tdw On 1/10/04 4:38 PM, Mike Brown wrote: Help!

The midpass filter by Tantek Celick, a way to serve style sheets to IE
5 or 5.5 only.

On a related note do people use the midpass filter ? And if so, did
you experience problems with this ? I have received various reports
from people telling me that IE Mac was also reading that CSS file. But
I haven't seen a common cause to it. One suspect is the way the style
sheet is called: root relative paths seem to work fine. document
relative paths seem to cause problems.
If anybody has more on this, I'd like to hear. I can add them to the IE
Mac bug list (see sig).

Re: [WSG] IE5 Mac hanging on loading a page
In Safari on the Mac it looks pretty much the same as it does in IE on the PC. If
you're interested, you can see it at
http://www.imagine-hosting.com/images/IG-3-template.gif
My IE 5.2 on the Mac behaved as you report and I had to force quit.
Thge only suspect I could see in your code was this:
@media tty {
i{content:\;/* */}} @import '/bioie5.css'; /*;}
}/* */
/*\*//*/
@import /bioie5mac.css;

The top hack is the mid-pass filter
http://tantek.com/CSS/Examples/midpass.html
sending styles to IE5* Win only
The bottom one is the IE5/Mac Band Pass Filter
http://tantek.com/log/2004/07.html#ie5macbandpass
sending styles to IE5 Mac only
I should have said in earlier post, that there are other pages with
the same CSS and meta stuff which display fine in IE5 Mac:
http://morst.signify.co.nz/templates/ig4-template.asp
http://morst.signify.co.nz/templates/ig2-template.asp
It's just this one page for some reason!
thanks though
