Warning: Unresponsive Script??

Fill_7

got an irratating problem with the old pc at the mo. various web pages seem to get stuck when loading. after about 10 seconds, it will either continue and load or i get the following alert...

' Warning: Unresponsive Script

a script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. you can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.

stop script , continue '

my pc is about 10 year old, but its been running ok until this. im running firefox version 1.5.0.6 on windows 98.

any ideas of what the prob might be?

You can turning it off, or more correctly give firefox longer to load the page. Start fire fox and in the address bar type;
1. Type about:config in Firefox's address bar.
2. Filter down to the value for dom.max_script_run_time.
3. Change the value to something higher than the default (which is 5.) I set mine to 20.
4. That's it.
Incidently, you can speed fire fox up with the following;

1.Type about:config into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.

If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now!
