IE6 hangs after displaying a New Window within an open window using xml. Think I have traced it back to xml.
Seems to happen, and very repeatable, when a new window is opened within an open window then closed. New window is accessing same website. IE6 then waits a minute then > 'hour glass' then > 'not responding'.
My application is a webpage inside WebCT.
All addons disabled ( from safe mode), third party extensions not allowed.
Ad-Aware ok, SpyBot, CCleaner OK, cwshredder OK, MicrosoftAntiSpyware OK
WinXP home sp2 , IE6 sp2 , all latest Win & IE updates
This is what I know:
happens every time with certain Word generated html webpage, ie, save as Web Page
seems to be associated with 'Autoshapes'
debugging this, I found two(2) things I can do to make it "not hang"
1. remove this
2. remove the 'Autoshape line' from doc
xmlns refers to a name space used in the body, but that is about the extent of my xml knowledge
Do I not have access to something? Is something missing? Is there an error?
Happens on my PC & other PCs running XP Pro so this is not isolated event.
Occasionally, while debugging, the symptoms just go away. It just stops failing until I close IE then open IE again. I don’t know what is failing so can’t reproduce this consistently.
Spent many hours finding this much, so it is time to ask for help from the experts. What is the next step?
