So, Silverlight and XPS are the answer? ;)

Raj mate. Can I recommend you take silverblight and shove it up your [or whoever you can find's] rrrrr. [the rrrrr is because Chris doesn't like us saying arse. It's like gonads and scrotum. Forbidden!]

In IE8, select menu "View", "Encoding", "Unicode (UTF-8)", worked fine for me without doing this.

I think my IE8 on this machine is plain and simple broken

Meh! I'm not a silvertight supporter as well. I do native language programming for that matter. :)

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.

You don't have to install the language on your computer in order to see it displayed on your browser. It must be perfectly readable (he said he can see it in FF). No, I am not commenting about IE. :)

And if that doesn't work, there's always IE 5. :laugh:

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.

As with any multithreaded application it could be any number of things that are hogging the CPU cycles (Javascript UI libraries, AJAX, ActiveX, Flash, Silverlight, PDF, etc.). Anything that pushes the processing to the client side can have this effect.

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
-
Nah PDF's don't freeze for a few seconds, they freeze for several minutes :) As do crappy java applets. They also inhibit scrolling through the rest of the page while they are loading.

CNET locks up my FF more than half the time.

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

It's working perfectly in IE6. ;P

Hi, You cannot blame Ajax for this. The way its handled is the reason. If its synchronous then the browser hangs as it has to wait for the response it locks the browser. Please make it asynchronous and give a friendly error message when you want to cancel the operation or navigate away from that page. Thanks, Thani
