IE7 hanging on first use

AdrianMarsden — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 13:44:40 GMT

Hi

When a user first uses a page of mine, which uses API 2.5, it hangs when initially loading, before it gets as far as the CSS, so all the items are showing unstyled. Event logs show

Hanging application iexplore.exe, version 7.0.6000.17103, hang module hungapp, version 0.0.0.0, hang address 0x00000000.

Killing iexplorer and starting again and it all works fine.

Deleting temp internet files causes this to happen a second time. I'm guessing it is some conflict with the downloading of all the API code at once.

Any ideas?

Watch this space - the app is internal, but I work on it at home as well - last nights home version works fine! I'll send the current version home to publish on my personal site later today.

In the mean time I'll have a look at what dojo.requires I added today!

Cheers

Just a done a quick check and I can't see any major differences - so my next suspect is our ISA firewall - when our ISA chap returns next week I'll get him to trace my PC -often the cause of issues with calling remote stuff - there may be some sort of wacky "only download so many streams of data" setting.

Update - I tried the same code, but on my personal domain, and it works fine - which seems to point at some sort issue internal issue. But, 😄 it has enabled me to get permission to "test" IE8 on my PC (8 is as far as we can go until we move off XP) - as not only do I have this issue, but I had another scripting issue that just failed on IE7.

I feel your pain, just happy we finally got off ie6!
