Can anyone think of any reason why a page would completely stop while the mouse is in the browser window, but continue once you move the mouse off the page?
As if I had to tell you, this is happening with IE 6. I'm working on a project with a couple other coders, so we're not exactly sure where or when the problem began. It hasn't released, so I can't show you examples. If I knew what in the code was causing the problem, I could give you some code to look at. The best I can do is give you a description and hope someone has seen this happen before. Basically, pages that involve any kind of processing, Ajax or otherwise, will stop dead in their tracks until you move the mouse away. 1. In the most visible example, a form is filled out completely and correctly and submitted using the Form plugin. 2. The screen goes dark as BlockUI kicks in, but it's stuck. 3. Move the mouse off the browser window and the BlockUI message appears. There's an animated gif to show the script is processing. 4. Move the mouse back onto the browser window and processing stops again. Even the gif animation stops dead. This happens on other pages as well, not just pages using BlockUI. There are other plugins in use that are called on every page: jqModal and dimensions. We've also got a javascript function that sets a timer after a period of inactivity, based on mouse movement and keypresses. I thought perhaps this had something to do with it, but even removing these functions didn't solve the issue. I apologize for the long post with no code, but maybe someone will have encountered something like this. Thanks in advance! Steve
