Hi,
I have created a script that needs to constanstly poll a webpage, I do
this with a controling function that fires off different functions to
do the work, then restarts by calling itself after a second using
settimeout.
on IE it runs forever, on firefox it stops after a while,
what am I doing wrong?
is there a limit on the number of times you can go around this type
loop you can go around in firefox?
if there is a limit, how do I get around it?
Would it be freak out if the function is already running when it is
fired again?

Who knows? Where's the code?

No.

There is not limit, so there's nothing to "get around". ;-)

You can't call it while any other script is running. JavaScript is
single-threaded, if something else is running when setTimeout wants to
run, the call will be put in a que until its turn comes around.
At a guess, you are overloading the number of HTTP requests that
Firefox can make simultaneously - but that is just a guess.

I have no clue why below code (found it somewhere and altered it a wee
bit to my needs) will run without problem in both IE and Mozilla FireFox
1.0 but in the latter it takes up close to 100% cpu. It does check for
type of browser, and indeed all works fine apart from that ridiculous
amount of cpu taken.
If you want to see if it does so in your firefox/xp too, it's embedded
in my homepage (www.westerterp.com)
Can anyone explain why...

Hi everyone,
This one is better experienced than explained, so I'm including a code
sample below. Please and save (as an html file) and view with NN or
Firefox (or maybe even Mozilla), and then view. When loaded:
(1.) Place the mouse over "Top Menu" item.
(The menu opens)
(2.) Move to any of the sub-menu items.
(3.) Click on the left or right (but NOT on the text) of the current

I try to make a logo fade in. I wrote the code below that is simple and

It works pretty well under IE6 but under Firefox and Netscape, I have the

itself though I cand read its value with the same object reference. Can
Anybody try to explain me why ? As a log, I sent several values on the

Hi all.
I didn't find anything on the web regarding this different behaviour I
found in Firefox (v. 2) and IE (v. 6), so I'm posting it here, maybe
someone will benefit from this.

I am needing, and would appreciate expert assistance for a Javascript program that I am using in a Website. The script is a Text and Image Fader, which only works on IE, but what I am trying to do is get it to work across the NS, FF and OPR browsers.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
