I.E.6 / Javascript Causing 100% CPU Usage
Jul 20, 2005
I'm really hoping someone out there can help me with an unusual,
frustrating XP problem that I just can't seem to fix.
When certain web pages are opened with my Internet Explorer 6, it
causes the CPU to jump up to 100% usage, and my computer comes to
almost a halt. The culprit, according to Task Manager, is always
IEXPLORE.EXE, or at least one of the IEXPLORE.EXEs if there are
multiple instances.
I've noticed a common thread to virtually all sites that cause the
CPU to run at 100% -- Javascript. Pages containing Javascript are
virtually always the problem. Examples:
1) almost all pop up windows
2) Yahoo! Mail
3) Match.com Searches
4) All Music Guide
I'm not a computer expert at all, so I've only done what I can think
of, or what has been suggested to me. I've checked/removed
spyware/malware with multiple pieces of software (Spybot, etc.) I've
defragged. I've checked for viruses using both NAV and PC-cillin.
I've used my System Mechanic program to go through almost all
fixes/maintanance/optimizers. The only thing i haven't been able to
do is Windows ChkDisk, because it gets stuck every time I try to use
it.

The question has to do with the use of popup
windows in a web page. I have heard that popup
windows should be avoided; due to use of popup
blockers and browser that do not process javascript.
Is the use of popup windows bad design?
Will it severly reduce the usage of our web page?
Note, The popup windows are created using only
onClick events, not onLoad or onClose events.
Do popup blockers make any distinction between
the two?

Can someone help my syntax?
var z=myForm.myInputTag.value.string().replace(" ","-");
I would expect the above to allow z to take the value of an input tag
(called myInputTag) and replace spaces with dashes...
It doesn't change the string - nor do I get errors in the Mozilla
javascript console...

I'm used to C/C++ where if you "new" something you really need to "delete"
it later. Is that also true in javascript? if i do "mydate = new date();"
in a function and dont "delete mydate" when the function exits do i have a
memory leak or other trouble brewing?
ie:
function MyFn() {
var mydate;
mydate = new date();
}
does the above function present a problem (what if its called over and over
and over etc)? or is the allocation automaticaly freed on function exit?

I'm writing a very complex javascript application and I'd like memory usage to be as low as possible, so I've got a question about objects.
I'm using jQuery and my code is a bunch of jQuery plugins that interact with eachother. Will there be a difference in memory usage if I declare functions like this:
I haven't written anything in javascript as complex as I'm about to write, so I never worked with objects. As far as I understand, $.fn.whatever will add function to prototype, while $.whatever will add function only to one entry of jQuery object.
So question comes down to this: when jQuery object is being created, are functions in it being copied (meaning increase in memory usage) or does javascript only make references (meaning no significant increase in memory usage) to one main entry of that function in prototype?

I noticed that Apple updated their website. In this thread I asked what people's thoughts on it were, but one of the main things I noticed in the mac and or the iPod pages is that the content elegantly spreads outward form the centre and fades in when the document is loaded.
So, I have a few questions, How would one do this? I know the fading can be done with jQuery, but what about the fanning-out form the centre? And also how the fade order is from top to bottom not what loads first is one of the aspects that makes it elegant, I believe. How would one do this?

My original fiddle for a solution used a separate callback function which just called def.resolve().However I then remembered that I've seen other code simply pass "def.resolve" as a callback in its own right. I tried this instead, and it works (see http://jsfiddle.net/Nyg4y/3/).This got me wondering - how does this work? As I understand it for this to work at all the value 'def.resolve' must be specific to 'def'.This suggests that it is actually a (reference to a) closure holding a reference to 'def' in its scope. Is my understanding correct, and if so is this behaviour guaranteed?

I am using this code load a file from server to display in to a div.
Code JavaScript:
function getHTTPObject() {
var xhr = false;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
[Code]...
I want to use the same script but apply for a button, clicking the button, a file called from server will display in the div "ask_seller". Since button has no href attribute, I don't know how to name the file that going to be called(or I don't know what is the usage in this case)

I am fairly new to javascript but I am an experienced php programmer. I have been parsing XML information using php, but my CPU usage has been too high recently due to this. I am trying to convert my scripts to javascript, but I am unsure how I can do this using javascript. I think that if I get started off, the rest will be easy.
One of my XML files is located at
Code:
http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/?method=user.getrecenttracks&user=bbcradio1&api_key=c910b0bc1e2d4e64964ebcd2d69c255c&limit=500
Basically I have been trying to grab the Name, Artist and large image of the most recent <track>.

I have a really long application so i'm trying to minimiza cpu/memory usage,with each function, therefore I have a few simple questions.
1. on elements added after the page has been loaded,is there a difference between putting "onclick" inside the element tag or using jquery's delegate like the following example?
$("#mainchatwindow").delegate('img[func="gift"]','click' function....
2. does it make a big difference selecting an element with a full path like (#body #contentdiv #userstbl td.example)or just typing (.example) ?
3. I have 2 arrays of objects, both objects has an id attribute, one of then objects are the images on the page, the second one is an ajax result with updated images.will it be better to first loop threw both objects just to create new arrays with just the id's instead of looping the threw those big objects? like this:
Code:
if (data.online)
var online_length = data.online.length;
else[code]..........

Working with two URLs:
Working: [url]
Trying to get to work: [url]
Issue: Received project from previous developer who left. The working URL generates a table chart using Javascript after you have entered a valid address/zip code. I haven't been able to determine why I can't get the "schoolfinder-business.asp" URL to generate a table chart using Javascript. I believe the issue is related to something in the function GetDirections, but I cannot pinpoint the issue.

What is meant by "element"?
When mouse is moved over "element" at x,y, is that "element" the entire
image or something else?
My thought would be to simply retrieve the thumbnail name or other ID and
use that to identify which large image to show.
Any reasons why NOT to use this property?

Is there a way to check the page for invalid usage (e.g. text boxes using .text which doesnt exist)? I originally thought I could use the .data("events") but then realize that .text and .val isn't an event which is pretty obvious but I'm stuck now. I already know my selector is $('input[type="text"]') but is there any way to see if anywhere on the page is improperly calling .text()?

My AJAX script runs fine on IE and Opera, but in firefox memory usage raises exponently (sript processes text, more text I use, more memory needed... when I use up to 1000 words, it takes 2 GB RAM on Firefox, while few mb on IE and Opera only).
Is there some way to track memory leak?

I have this web-app which can also be used offline. However, some content is dynamic (it depends on the user input). What I do now to have it accessible offline, is to store this content into localStorage. However, this works great for text, but what about images!
I've seen examples on the web where the base64 representation of the image-data is used, which is text and can be stored. But how do you get the Base64 of raw image data client-side ?
What would be the preferred way (Assume we don't have a File API) ?

I have a list for example
<ul id="applications">
<li id="id-1" class="util"></li>
<li id="id-1" class="app"></li>
<li id="id-1" class="util"></li>
<li id="id-1" class="app"></li>
</ul>
Then I want a select some of the list with some animate effect, first the all of the elements would disappear, then the elements that I wanted would display one by one the code:
$('#applications li').each(function (index) {
setTimeout(function (e) {
e.hide("slow");
}, index * 100, $(this));
});
$('#applications li[class="app"]').each(function (index) {
setTimeout(function (e) {
e.fadeIn("fast");
}, index * 100, $(this));
});
The final effect is that all the elements would disappear first but the element I wanted would not display? Then I think about the queue,before I use it I change a little about the code:
$('#applications li').each(function (index) {
setTimeout(function (e) {
e.hide("slow");
}, index * 100, $(this));
});
$('#applications li')
.each(function (index) {
setTimeout(function (e) {
e.fadeIn("fast");
}, index * 100, $(this));
});
The yellow part is the different from the former one, the effect is that all the elements would disappear first, then all the would display again without any problem!

I'm having an issue getting jQuery to load from a local file system. My head links are:
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.3.2.min"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-ui-1.7.2.custom.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.scrollTo-min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.localscroll-min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="shadowbox-3.0.3/shadowbox.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/myscripts.js"></script>
This works fine when served from my server via http. However, I want to load this entire site (including all linked js/css files) from a local filesystem for offline usage. When I move the project to a local filesystem, the browser throws a bunch of errors from the secondary scripts (like jquery-ui) which indicate that the main jQuery lib isn't loading (ie.ReferenceError: Can't find variable: $). This behavior is consistent across IE7/FF3/Safari4Mac.

I am using ASP.NET for data retrieval and jQuery to perform various functions/animations (error bar, slide menu, table sorter, etc...). Everything is working great until the pages are viewed over and SSL connection. When viewing over SSL, some of the margins/padding stops working and the hover effects on tables stop working correctly (leaving cells coloured, not colouring others). After spending a day looking for the solution in Google, I haven't found anything that will fix the issue. No errors/warnings are displayed on the page.

I am building a wordpress theme that utilizes a theme options panel. The theme has a area where someone can enter in their email address, and when they do a Thank You message displays. One of the sections in the theme options panel allows the users to modify that message. Right now the message is formatted like this: "Thank you for your interest!<br />As soon as as we are ready we will send you an email with all the details."
And the page source shows this:
$('#right').html("<div id='submitted'></div>");
$('#submitted').html("Thank you for your interest!<br />
As soon as as we are ready we will send you an email with all the details.")
.hide()
.fadeIn(1000, function() {
});
(I bolded the thank you message) now the form functions properly the way it should and the thank you message appears accordingly when someone submits their email. However, if the person modifies the message via the theme options panel and uses "Enter" for a return or line break the code looks like this:
$('#right').html("<div id='submitted'></div>");
$('#submitted').html("Thank you for your interest!
As soon as as we are ready we will send you an email with all the details.")
.hide()
.fadeIn(1000, function() {
});
And this causes the form not to function properly. The thank you message will not show up.

I have these scripts for the page link buttons (home, about us etc) for a number of 'template' websites. The code is returning the following error:
Line: 5
Char: 2
Error: 'target manager' is null or not an object
With older browsers, it may even force a browser shutdown? Code & scripts attached.

I have a html list displayed in a div and I want to make the list cycle through items, i.e the first item in the list becomes the last item while the second one becomes the first, and this should continuously happen.
I wrote a small bit of jQuery to accomplish this, but the problem with this code is that is causes the block to continuously resize vertically. Does anyone know of a correction I could make to the code below to remove this glitch. Here is what I have written.
Code JavaScript:
$(document).ready(function() {
/**
* Removes the first element of the news-ticker elements and then calls
* addLast() to add it to the end of the list.
[Code].....
