Re: White Screen of Death

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Hi Richard,

I am using IE7 cloaked as IE6. There is a scripting error on
www.scriptaculus.com

"Exception thrown but not caught"

I also have a tweak to limit the number of loops that scripts will execute
which would explain why I don't get the 'white screen of death!' (I am not
sure if this hack applies to IE6, so it would suggest that you death screen
is caused by an endless loop in one of your scripts.)

I see that you are using alot of third-party scripts and the
positioniseverything.net style hacks....
See positioniseverything.net for the latest version with the IE7
workarounds, but IMHO this is not the approach to take for cross-browser
compatibility. (KISS is best).

Looks like a loose shrink-wrap problem.

Regards.

We have a complex site (dojo; scriptaculus) and a SWF in a floating
div.

After a certain series of steps with several floating divs visible,
the entire browser page goes white - bang!

It seems to be when we have a floating div move around on the page.

A) Does anyone know what is going on?

B) What can we do to mollify IE6 (IE7 and FF work fine) until everyone
upgrades to something better?

Thanks
