Have you noticed that there are more and more websites
-
that will freeze your browser, and sometimes your whole computer, for several minutes? It doesn't matter if IE7 or IE8, for those who are about to recommend FF, it freezes FF, too. Should we blame this on AJAX or some other new annoying technology? P.S. For a long time I thought AJAX is a toilet cleaner.

Some websites resize your browser. People who write such sites must be taken out and beaten to death with a mechanical keyboard. :|

in my experience, MS sites seem to be among the worst offenders.

In general, Ajax improves the responsiveness of websites in my experience. The things that slow down or freeze the browser (again, in my experience) tend to be Flash or PDFs - so it's all Adobe's fault!
Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

So, Silverlight and XPS are the answer? ;)

Not while I've a breath left in my body :) And anyway, I can't view XPS on my Mac - PDF's fine on the Mac, though, as the OS has support built in - I don't even need to install Acrobat Reader (huzzah!) No. HTML, Javascript and Ajax do the job for me. I don't use IE, though, which means I don't have to deal with slow Javascript execution.

Some version of Flash Player not only freezes the IE7 but crash it instantly. Usually the people blame for this crashes IE or even Vista, because the real offender is not so obvious. We need to blame MS for their REAL sins, for example: MSDN sh*t, not the fake ones.

I can see that fine, so it is not a problem on the server. If you don't have the proper language option installed on your computer, then you will see either ??? or three boxes.

Oh that's weird. In IE8 it's broken. In FireFox it's perfect. The conspiracy continues!!

I don't recall ever browsing a site that does that. However most of my browsing is FF under 64 bit linux.

Some AJAX implementations are so awful. I'm not going to rip any particular company (K2) but this one vendor has an interface that loads one web page. Then instead of having multiple web pages, it simply puts the entire page in an ajax request. So you can view what are essentially many different pages but the URL never changes. It simply puts a dumb graphic on the page while loading. People seemed to have missed the point. AJAX should be used to updated a small section of a page. Many developers are just lazy (or ignorant) so they drop an entire Form inside a ASP.Net 3.5 AJAX panel and BAM! The page is the latest and greatest AJAX technology with no post backs. Only every time you click a button the damn thing locks up your browser and the entire page posts back anyway with added scripts. So the ajax request is actually slower than doing a full post back. It is ridiculous. **** End of rant.
