I am unable to replicate the problem when I want to but it seems like every now and then, my site using FCKeditor will load the interface but not the content (Clicking the buttons don't do anything). No javascript errors show and once it starts doing it, it usually is tough to get back to normal. The way I found to work best is to click the refresh button multiple times in a row, then the FCKeditor loads correctly. I have only seen this in Firefox
Has anyone else run into this problem or know a solution. It is a little annoying for me but I am afraid my client would be really confused
I have experienced the phenomenon you describe in FCKEditor's successor, CKEditor. Somehow, the IFRAME that contains the WYSIWYG content doesn't get loaded. What always helps is switching to source code view and back, but that's no solution.
I have seen the problem described on the Internet but with no solution.
Caching is not the problem, I think. Sometimes, if you press "reload" 20 times, it will break at the 21th time, and work again on the 22nd time.
What minimized the number of occurrences for me was to activate the thingy to the editor's bottom that shows the element path (body > p > span, I forgot it's name). I don't now why but since I turned it on, it very rarely breaks any more.
I have had this problem. I solved it by pre-loading FCKeditor in a hidden iframe during the login process so that when it got to the pages where it was used it was already in the cache.
i would strongly advise to upgrade to CKEditor which can not only be spelled out verbally without offending anyone, but also optimizes the loading time to minimal. I find it much more responsive than his F- friend.
I encountered this problem with firefox (not reproducible) and chrome (reproducible).
The solution that worked quite well in both cases was to wait for some milliseconds before initializing CKE :
setTimeout(function() {textarea.ckeditor({customConfig : 'custom/schnonfig.js'})} , 100);

I have been fixing up a sites JS, moving it to the bottom, minifying, etc. And it's all gone okay except on the blog (of an e-commerce site), as the page loads it's causing the header to be un-styled for a second or so, but it isn't happening on any other part of the site, even though they share the same CSS/JS. The blog is image heavy, but with images disabled (and I've tried disabling scripts too), it still happens. It's only happened since I've made changes, which I can't revert simply, but the changes are all positive and should help if anything. I can't see any JS causing it (as I removed the scripts to see if it was in there) and it doesn't happen in FF.
I would share a link but it's behind a closed staging server. And I could provide code but I'm not sure what, and there's a lot.
So, I had hoped I could use Dev tools to figure out what's happening, possibly the timeline view or something. I just don't know how I'd go about doing that.
Any advice?
Ed: I used the network tab on both the staging and the live site, as you can see from the image, they're identical, the css is the first thing loaded after the actual page, and on the live site it's actually ga.js. So it's even more of a puzzle now...
Don't worry, figured it out... It was the Stylebot Chrome Extension.. No idea why it was causing it now after making those changes though, and why it didn't affect the live site. I had no styles defined in it for this domain. A bug I guess.
Cheers all the same :)
Timeline tab in the dev tools is for benchmarking / site performance testing. If you want to know what's happening as in what content is being loaded, when and where, you can use the network tab for that.
It's also a common practice to stuff console.log() everywhere with some relevant message so you know when some part of code is being run.
i've been plagued by a problem that seem to started since Youtube's last
layout change this year.
I have for months put up and tried to ignore the freezing that happens
everytime I open a link within youtube such as an channel, an video, the homepage, etc.
I'm using Chrome version 31.0.1650.63 and I have already tested youtube without any
extensions, cookies, cache, etc but it still affects me to this day and maybe some
of you out there.
I searched every where for the solution and couldn't find any anywhere.
I did a bit of digging and testing to see what is the root of the problem and
while i'm no expertise on code or Java...I did found something.
Every time I reload a page on youtube, with it finishing loading up...this happens:
http://i.imgur.com/K9Z3vJ1.png
See that?
The purple-colored rendering, that's the cause of the lag every time I load
up something on youtube!
I notice that it repeats the same thing over and over again for like 5-15 or so
seconds before it starts loading up the thumbnails of the videos.
If you want a closer inspection of the code, here's the raw data from the timeline (that you can load up in chrome's dev timeline window):
Youtube Lag JSON Timeline file
I don't what to do with this problem and I believe it affects
me in Firefox as well but to an lesser extent then chrome.
Do any of you guys know how to resolve this problem?
Honestly I doubt that the youtube devs will fix this problem since they're the ones who caused it in the first place. (Like not being able to subscribe to some people when i'm not even at my sub limit.)
I'm sorry if you don't want to help but I don't know who else to look to besides
the experts that y'all are when it comes to web coding. If anything, I believe a userscript or something similar could help with this but how...I don't know.
I'm new to this and I apologize if the question i'm asking isn't suited for this site.
Still, thanks for reading and if you can...please reply.
That is all and thanks again.
Well I was fiddling around and looking at the source code
with chromes timeline devtools and well...
I found a temporary solution to the problem which seems to have
fixed and ended the freezing on youtube! yay~
But some things don't work with this solution and i'm at
a fault with this issue after some hours trying to figure out
how to stop the problem.
Anyways I used adblock, an extension that I have on Google Chrome, to deal
with this issue and was able to get everything fixed and working!
What I did was, in the custom filters section (check options in your
adblock extension, you should have it.) and added the following then did
some testing to see if it fixed the problem which it did!
Here are the filters I used to fix it!

Yeah, that's the temporary solution as it fixes the problems but it causes the following...
You can't open the menu which contains links to your playlists, user settings, channel, etc when you click your username or profile
picture on top right of youtube.
The "..." mini-menu that you usually find on the right of a video section (to hide, subscribe, etc.) doesn't appear anymore.
Youtube's quick menu button doesn't work, however the menu is still open but you won't be able to close it. That or it's close and you
won't be able to open it...I guess.
Those are the problems I found with this temporarily solution to the freezing problem.
Yeah...but I hope this helps anyone who's having this problem somewhat well.
But it would be nice if someone has an better solution then mine hehe!
Thanks for reading and if you have a better solution, don't feel afraid to
tell! ^_^
I'll be awaiting other answers, for now...I hope this helps y'all well
in some ways hehe! =D
This certainly isn't javascript, but substituting the normal EasyList in ABP for EasyList without element hiding will fix the issue. There are downsides to this as well but for now seems to be the better solution.
I created a mobile site in html and jquery, but it is not loading properly in Chrome (or on an iphone). There is no backend to the site - all changes to content would happen right through editing the html. Inside of my html, I made no specific reference to ajax. And, each page links through "#pageid. The problem is that as I navigate the site, various pages do not display correctly unless I hit "refresh." URL is mobile.shorelinelake.com. I am VERY new to this, so please be patient with a newbie :) Thanks for any help!
http://mobile.shorelinelake.com (if you click through to "Lake" and then "Sailing," or "Cafe" to "Menu," you can see the problem - the page jumps after loading, cuts off the header, places content below the footer, or will entirely hide jquery elements...)
One thing I noticed right away is that your using an old version of Jquery and Jquery Mobile. There have been alot of improvements since the alpha that you are using. Also you are linking to a few files that aren't there. Phonegap.js and ajax-loader.gif for some reason are not found. In my console I see 196 warnings that I believe are all related to you using old versions.
Also you have 31 html errors. One example is here
line 88:
<a href="tel:16509657474" div data-role="button" data-theme="c" class="ui-btn-text">
You have alot of stranded </p> tags. Most of them are in the menu page. Fixing these errors is necessary to troubleshoot your problem. Try running your document through an html5 validator to find these mistakes.
I also recommend breaking this into smaller pieces. Here is my reasoning:
Easier to maintain and edit.
Keep the dom size reasonable. Jquery will remove the old pages from the dom keeping it very manageable.
Faster page loading resulting in a better user experience. Your user will probably not be going to each page. Only load what they need to see.
Bandwidth could be costing your user extra money on a mobile device.
I"m wondering if anyone can give me some insight into a really strange IE9 issue I've been struggling with.
I'm finishing up production of a site for work - it works well in ff/chrome/ie7/ie8 with no script errors.
On IE9 the last step of the application causes the entire tab to whitescreen with no script errors or warnings. (changing the document mode to ie8 will fix the problem but is obviously unsuitable for production)
Unfortunately the site pretty complex with a ton of ajax, and in-page scripts so I can't really post the relevant code easily. I'm more trying to figure out how to diagnose this.
I've checked the IE error logs and they are empty. Web developer tools tells me nothing. The site is not using any plugins (Flash/Silverlight, Ect. ) just javascript w/jQuery.
There is a PDF being displayed in an iframe around the step where it fails - but a nearly identical pdf is displayed in the previous step (using the same method) without problem. The code fails around a call to the jquery UI window but I can't seem to get the exact line.
If anyone has a clue how to try to diagnose this further I'd really appreciate it. I can keep hunting for the bug but I've never seen this kind of behavior before and just am not sure what I am looking for.
Thanks for all the input on this. Sorry I got completely overwhelmed by a few projects at once so I wasn't able to post updates on the debugging steps.
It took forever but I finally realized that everything was crashing when I closed the dialog containing the first PDF.
One of my helper functions was opening the dialog and automatically destroying the contents on close. Normally this works fine as I'm either removing a div containing the page fragment, or the iframe.
In this situation I had a page fragment loaded into the dialog which contained some buttons and the pdf iframe. I called the .remove() method on the parent element containing the iframe rather than the iframe itself. For some reason this seems to work fine in every other browser - but in IE9 it pretty much kills the page rendering without any warning or message.
I strongly suspect that the culprit is the adobe plugin but I'm not entirely sure.
Here is the fix-
Html:
<div id="container">
<iframe src="loremipsum.pdf"></iframe>
</div>
Javascript:
//Ruins my entire week
$("#container").remove();
//Works as the pdf is removed directly
$("#container").find("iframe").remove().end().remove();
I ran into the same issue on IE11 while trying to remove an iframe in a div with AngularJS. Removing the iframe first would just cause the same issue, so I navigated the iframe src to a new page (about:blank) first, then removed the div which worked. Hopefully this helps someone with a similar problem.
Pseudo-code below:
$ctrl.iframeUrl = 'about:blank'; // change the iframe url here
$timeout(function(){
$ctrl.removeIframe(); // remove the iframe here
});
As a thing to try - see what's in the IE9 DOM viewer after it whitescreens. There's a decent chance that most of the stuff is there and just not rendering properly (or having something else rendered over it). At the very least, knowing whether it's losing a ton of stuff out of the DOM or not should give you some useful data.
I'm hoping some Javascript/ASP.Net gurus can give me some hints here.
I've written an application which (unfortunately) uses UpdatePanel (yes, I'm aware that was a dumb idea, too late now though, I understand it more now - even though its an intranet site I'm having troubles with it)
The site is a web based timesheet site, kind of tabular format. Anyhow, it basically saves everything in it in an update panel, and autosaves once a minute. This seems to work fine for me, but I use firefox. Other users with more timesheet entries, and IE7 have problems with IE memory usage increasing and their browser slowing down.
I ran Sieve (checks for memory leaks on a website) and it was pretty obvious it was bad:
alt text http://rodh.org/images/Programming/sievemain.png
Thats my site loaded up and left running for a bit, refreshed it at the dip and left it and you can see once a minute it jumps up a little bit. THe area on the timeline before the dip was when i was hitting the save button a bit, so its obvious what is causing it. The DOM nodes and memory both go up.
I'm using a ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock's (mainly to get the clientID's of controls so I can do javascript totals) and also a ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript on page_load to get set the focus to be the same after a partial postback. Maybe they are contributing?
Is there any tools that can help me out further to this? Sieve reported alot of empty divs being made when the postback occurs? bit I've never used sieve before so maybe this always happens?
alt text http://rodh.org/images/Programming/sievnodes.png
Is there some sort of code analysis I can do, or something that at least lets me see the new DOM nodes created each time...
I'm thinking hte problem might be to do with my code behind hackery to get the client id's, it stores them in an array, and then recreates taht array on each postback, perhaps something is going wrong there?
I've uploaded my JS file which does that hackery, and also the code behind in case anyone needs more info.
http://rodh.org/images/Programming/javascript.txt
http://rodh.org/images/Programming/codebehind.txt
So I guess my question is:
- Can anyone think of anything immediately that would be causing this?
- what are some common causes of increased DOM usage on UpdatePanels (using Jquery too btw)
- what tools can I use to debug?
I can tell you first hand Microsoft knows about the IE problem(KB 2000262) with UpdatePanels. Its a DOM parser issue. I had a site that ran fine up until a certain page content size and then IE(all versions) had a fit. FF and other browsers handled the same pages with ease.
Things I did to make my pages faster:
Use UpdateMode=Conditional wherever possible
Implement the KB 2000262 fix
UpdatePanel Async Postsback slow in IE…Part 3
