IE6 crashing....................

[ramdisk]

Not sure when the problem started happening, it seams like maybe the last month. IE6 crashes when you click on one or more sub categories, it doesn’t happen when I’m logged in. I really haven’t changed or added any customizations lately. Thanks for anyone’s help.

Just tested your site on IE6, no crashes at all. Try clearing all your cache, and rebooting?

Try again please? you had a few errors in your html. (tags opened, not closed, and one closure too many.)

Ivar thanks for your reply....I did clear histories and cookies, it seams to be working, I went in and out of several galleries and it worked. I guess I had to clear everything more then once......Thanks again:clap

I guess I had to clear everything more then once......I think it were the errors I fixed for you :wink

I don’t know but this starting to drive me nuts, IE6 crashes after nav to any gallery, it happens when I’m logged or not. Went to my brother-in-laws site who doesn’t have a customization I can go all over his site without it happening. Again I think this all started after smugmug upgrading.

What I’ve done so far…..Delete cookies and histories, IE6 works fine at this point
Quick out of IE6 and restart problem happens when I nav to any gallery.

Quick out of IE6 and restart problem happens when I nav to any gallery.it's not browser related, there's errors in your code somewhere causing it, ramdisk. I'm not smart enough to find them though.

I removed Google stat counter and Web site management and it still is happening................anyone?

edit: it was crashing IE6 for me too....
In the last few lines of your js for the slideshow you have this:

function deleteCookie(name, path, domain) {
if (getCookie(name))
document.cookie = name + "=" + ((path) ? ";path=" + path : "") + ((domain) ? ";domain=" + domain : "") + ";expires=Thu, 01-Jan-1970 00:00:01 GMT";
}

I think your missing an }

function deleteCookie(name, path, domain) {
if (getCookie(name)) {
document.cookie = name + "=" + ((path) ? ";path=" + path : "") + ((domain) ? ";domain=" + domain : "") + ";expires=Thu, 01-Jan-1970 00:00:01 GMT";
}
}

}:nah you just added both a { and a } which shouldn't make a difference, but make sure you add both if you are going to do this.

Thanks Ivar, I didn't see the { here: if (getCookie(name)) {

When I left out the closing } by itself, it only caused some problems with the sub-page hack, no crash....

Ramdisk,

Please update your BZT and Slideshow JS code first, you are using old versions.

I have not been able to replicate the problem.

If after updating the codes the problem still exists, i would do some troubleshooting if I were you.

First, copy all the code you have and save it somewhere. (I usually email it to myself. Have it both locally and on my mail-server.)

Then, take out all your JS. Does the problem still exist? If yes, put your JS back in, and remove all your HTML. If no, put the JS back in, and take out the first half of your JS, etc, etc. until you find the part of code that is causing you the problems.

I can't help you here, as I can't replicate the problem, sorry.

I would also upgrade to IE7, but that's another story.

Hi,
I’m getting a similar problem in IE6. In any gallery when you click on the large picture to the right of the thumbnails to view it, a black box appears at the top of the screen and IE freezes.

All works fine on my PC in IE7 but a few people have told me of the problem, all running IE6.

Any pointers much appreciated.

Many thanks,

Peter
