JS problems on IE

I wrote some JS that works fine under Firefox, but causes IE to hang.
Can anyone give me some tips as to what the problem is in IE?

Thanks!

Maybe because you aren't generating <HTMLtags in the content you send
to the top.right frame?

Oh, I think I know why ...

-- change this:
<a href="arrex1.cpp" onclick="process(1,'a',5);">

-- to this:
<a href="javascript:process(1,'a',5);">

That is a dumb way to attempt to fix any problem. The effect is the
same, it calls a function.

Scuse me, I thought getting rid of the call to the .CPP file might help.
Please forgive me. I look forward to your own solution to the guy's
original question.

it would be easier to follow.
Sure thing.

I don't care if you are the FAQ editor. You're a jerk. You've flamed me
twice and not even tried to help the guy who asked the question. You've
got nothing better to do, I guess. What a life.

irrelevant, your idiocy is relevant.
I will add that to the list of names I have been called. You are gonna
have to try harder than that though.
I did? Wow. If you think that was a flame you should see a real one.
Sure I did. I told him, indirectly, that your advice was of no use.
Actually, I do, I just choose to do this every now and then just for the
amusement.

a top.right.document.write() to the beginning of the function keeps IE
from hanging forever:

function process(exno,arrayname,arraydim)
{
top.right.document.open();

automatically when document.write() is called?

A better strategy might be to remove the use of document.write
completely.

RobG said the following on 3/2/2007 12:05 AM:That is my understanding. But adding the call to document.open solves
the freeze issue which points at the lack of an explicit document.open
as the culprit.
Absolutely.

re: JS problems on IE

Inserting document.open() does not solve the problem.
Any other ideas??
Thanks!

something in your setup causing it.
Yes, don't top-post.

Answer:It destroys the order of the conversation
Question: Why?
Answer: Top-Posting.

local machine.
When I access it off the server, it still makes IE hang. I did turn
off the pop-up blocker. What else could be causing this behavior?
