syphilis has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hi, For quite some time I have been having trouble getting access to cpan-testers reports on Windows Vista. Seems there's some script that's running that's causing weirdness of a most unfriendly variety (for both IE 7 and Firefox). On IE7, if I try to go to (eg) http://www.cpantesters.org/show/Inline.html#Inline-0.44_01, chances are it will freeze the browser and I'll have to open Task Manager to kill the process. If I do manage to get there, and try to view some of the specific reports, then I run the risk of creating the very same freeze up. Or, I might get a pop-up telling me that "a script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding". My options are to just close the pop-up, or I can accept the option to "continue", or I can elect to "Stop Script". All three options produce unpredictable results. Inevitably the browser eventually freezes up. On Firefox, it's not much better. I get to http://www.cpantesters.org/show/Inline.html#Inline-0.44_01, and can see that there are currently 6 reports for Inline-0.44_01, plus a large number of reports for earlier versions. But before the page finishes downloading, that same bloody pop-up appears. If I click on "continue" then 2 of those 6 reports disappear. If I click on "Stop Script", then all 6 disappear. For both options the myriad of reports for earlier versions remain. It's just the 0.44_01 reports that vanish. Does anyone know what this "script" might be ? ... and how to get it fixed so it works with Vista ? Is there some browser option/capability I need to enable ? Cheers, Rob
