    So, once again, one of my tabs is stuck, so I can't access any of the pages. I've run a new IE7 in order to report this news.

    Only when the website needs all those fancy things, I prefer IE else I mostly stick onto FF. Just about a few days back, I shared a thought about the bad IE behavior here: http://lavanyadeepak.blogspot.com/2008/10/bad-bad-ie-no-donuts-for-you.html[^]

      I got fed up with IE7's huge memory consumption, so I tried out Opera, and found that I like it. The open-source evangelists put me off the idea of trying Firefox.

        http://lavanyadeepak.blogspot.com/2008/10/bad-bad-ie-no-donuts-for-you.html\[^\] ??? Shirley you know better than to type large chunks of text directly into a web interface? That's what text editors were made for.

          Firefox is famous for doing that on slow connections. I wish they would test software against crappy connections...

          xacc.ide - now with TabsToSpaces support
          IronScheme - 1.0 beta 1 - out now!

            My connection is pretty decent. Sometimes, pages just crash.

                    I do hat the lockup when a script blows or something like that. It seems silly to happen into today's world. Still happens in IE8, but it is still beta so I will wait and see. Not sure if it happens under IE7 (not installed except in a Vistual Server), but IE8 does launch each tab into a new process. Perhaps they are planning the Google Chrome feature (only one I liked of the browser) to drag tabs out into new windows. Anyway, if IE7 runs the tabs in different processes, you might try killing the one that is locked and see if they rest come back to life.

                        It's not just MS - I've been getting that in Safari in Leopard with one particular site (Football365[^]) - I think it's the Flash(spit!) app they use to do video. It's possible the browser might come back eventually, but my iBook's slow enough that I'm not willing to wait that long. The sooner the different browsers migrate to the Chrome model of one process per browser window, the better.

                          I have a copy of IE 4.02 around here somewhere. Would you like it? ;)
