If you go to the URL above and click on any city (eg. Melbourne) then click on the "Loop" link at the top right of the image shown, Mozilla will load an animated radar loop. There are two problems here. Problem 1) On a dial-up connection, sometimes images do not download fully and are not displayed - I believe this is because each time the radar javascript attempts to display the next picture, it is cancelling the download in progress and thus sometimes you only get 2 or 3 of the 4 images. Using a local proxy server (squid) solves this problem. Problem 2) More severe I think. When the radar is left looping for a while, say 5-10 minutes, Mozilla will die (disappear). Before this happens, Mozilla gets extremely slow and becomes lagged - in the sense that when you go into the Mail client for instance and hit Get Msg or whatever, it does not register for a couple of seconds. This happens just before mozilla disappears. Here is a brief description of my system in case you think maybe my system is ****. AMD Athlon 1.4Ghz (non-XP processor) 256mb RAM, running WindowMaker at the desktop environment. 40Gb HDD with plenty of spare space on all partitions. nVidia GeForce 4 Video Card (with nVidia drivers). Netscape communicator v4.xx doesn't have any of the problems I mention above, have not tried with Netscape 6. From the mozilla "about" page: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020615 Debian/1.0.0-3 Cya.

Problem 1: must be the problem you mentioned with javascript; solution: use a proxy Problem 2: worksforme -on win98 2002071508; i let the radar in loop-mode for about 20min - no problem accured -on linux kernel 2.2.18 (i know it's old, but stable:-) same test about 20min - no problem - general notice: mozilla is much slower on X11 than on win32

ever tried to solve P2 by using another window-manager? (try one of the classic ones)

Using BuildID 2002071208 on WinXP, I see a problem too after leaving the loop running a while, the image stops changing as it loops round, so even though the counter changes the image doesn't.
