using latest seamonkey build, 2/10 on Win 98. Jump to the above site... the site does partially load but after a few seconds, the entire viewer unusable...it hangs. have to Ctrl-Alt-Delete to kill the process. works fine on 4.x Trying to narrow content of the page down to specific HTML, will add comments if/as I find anything narrower.

this site problematic on Mac and Linux also...freezes there also....
Summary: this site hangs viewer → [PP]this site hangs viewer
I take that back...Mac and Win freeze, but Linux actually loads it fine w/o causing any major freezing behavior. marking this bug [PP]
I'm wondering a few things about this bug. First, why is this labeled PP? PP was intended to indicate areas where we have significant function differences between platforms -- and this bug doesn't appear to meet that criteria. Second, I'm wondering whether this problem exists on NT. Was it tested on NT?
Bug is marked [PP] because it works on Linux, but not on Win and Mac. Sujay, go ahead and try NT for rickg too please.
okay will try on NT and write comments in this bug report....
Beth just tried it out on NT for me. its hosed there also: the 2/12 build on windows is hosed -- the HTML constructs are not recognized, resulting in a continuous single data string -- very icky.
wanted to clarify, it doesn't hang on NT like it does on 98.
Egads. How are we supposed to make sense of highly technical phrases like, "resulting in a continuous single data string -- very icky"? Please be more concrete so that the engineers can find the problems more quickly.
didn't realize my comment was being pasted -- let me take this moment to clarify in more technical talk for you there Rick. build: 2/12 platform tested: win95 other platforms tested: in process expected results: when displaying an HTML page that consists of a level 2 heading and paragraphs, I had expected to see the H2 display as specificed in the ua.css file: H2 {display: block; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: auto; margin-top: auto;}and on a single line. I had expected to see the paragraphs display as specified in the ua.css file: P {display: block; margin-bottom: auto; margin-top: auto; }. what I did get: The content of the file was displayed in one single stream of data that wrapped within the window. The heading was not distinquishable from the paragraphs, and the paragraphs were not separated -- i.e. "resulting in a continuous single data string" steps to reproduce: paste the following into a file and view it using the 2/12 build on a win95 machine <h2>here is a heading</h2> <P>Here is some filler text that is used so I can scroll. Mary had a little lamb, its fleece as white as snow. Everywhere that Mary went the lamb was sure to go. Here is some filler text that is used so I can scroll.

other platforms: Mac 8.5: no 2/12 build; Linux: disiplays correctly; winNT: displays the same as win95; win98: displays the same as win95
Summary: [PP]this site hangs viewer → [4.xP]this site hangs viewer
Viewer doesn't hang anymore. However, the problem I see is that the right and the left frames are rendered without any background image.
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
Ok, the site does hang viewer (in Windows 98), but not always!!!

I walked this page through the debugger -- and the parser is calling the content sink correctly. I can't explain why the table is not showing up (either on screen or in the dump content terminal output). I think it's related to the fact that the table is nested within an <embed> tag. Please talk to kipp about it.
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
The page looks ok but there a bunch of warning messages in the table code. I need to track them down.
