Has anone else ever experienced this?

I've got the calendar installed in my mambo site (mambo 4.5.2.3), and I'm using the module to display the small calendar. I've also set up a wrapper on the main menu to display the full calendar in TOC mode, with the list at the bottom. Works like a charm in FireFox, however, when I click on the Calendar button with either IE 6 or Netscape 8 it crashes the browser 9 times out of 10. Same thing happens on my husband's computer, which is networked to mine. I've had others test the site using IE and they were unable to recreate the problem. I also tested it on my computer at work, no problem there either.

I suspect that it's either some stupid setting in IE that I'm missing (Netscape 8 uses the IE engine for alot of things, so it could very well be inheriting whatever the problem is from IE) or something with my fire wall setup. I'm using Norton Internet Security 2006 on my computer, and 2005 on my husband's.

I have gotten it to work occassionally on this computer, but if I try it again without changing anything, it will crash again. I've tried it with the firewall disabled, same problem. I've also set up a wrapper to open another website as a test, and that works fine every time, no matter what browser I use. I'm stumped.

Does anyone have any ideas? The site address is www.banditsfans.com (http://www.banditsfans.com) if you want to take a look.

My guess is that it's because of your IFrame. Since it's an iframe to the same site, a lot of the calls are duplicated because of the calendar. You know, like same CSS downloaded twice, the overLib code loaded twice, etc...

I'm not very familiar with Mambo/Joomla yet, but can you try to make just a plain page instead of using a wrapper. That way you could have the calls done just once. Or try to at least modify the demo.php and comment out the CSS and OL sections, to see if it will work.

But my question is this .. why are other people not able to recreate this problem? I've tried it myself on several other ocmputers and did not have the browser crash once. That indicates to me that it's an issue specific to the two computers in my house.

I'll try commenting out those sections, anyway, though, because I'm fresh out of other ideas.

I guess that would depend on your local installation of IE. Make sure you have the latest version and all that fun stuff. Maybe another program that you have on both these computers is conflicting with IE causing it to crash (ie: popup blocker of some kind).

But you're right, the problem is with those two computers, not with your installation of EPC.

It could also be spyware or a bad javascript installation on that computer...
