Internet Explorer 8 crashes with milonic menu 5.830
Poster: Shaf
Dated: Monday April 12 2010 - 19:05:08 BST
Hello,
I have a web page using the milonic menu, but this page also dynamically updates some contents of a <div> roughly every minute. The problem is that after some time the browser would crash (both in vista and in xp).
Removing the call to drawMenus() and the page doesn't crash.
The sample code below is essentially rewriting the contents of a div every 5ms. I first render the menus by calling drawMenus() and then begin my updates. If I didn't call the drawMenus() the page would continue to update normally for a long period. With the call to drawMenus() the page would crash after about 3 minutes
You can replace the img1.jpg with any image. I also ran this on a tomcat server. Any help/feedback appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
Which browser is crashing and how long does it take before the browser will crash?
Also, what do you mean by crash? - Do you see a fatal error before the browser shuts down?

It crashes in IE8 only, its a fatal crash meaning that the browser will close. Sometimes I will see a message saying "Internet Explorer has stopped working. A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly" and looking at the details indicates there was a problem with mshtml.dll. In this example the behaviour was seen after about 3 minutes.
