Netscape hangs on certain pages

[Kevin9921]

A vendor is developing a web app for my organization and when I test it, the below page takes a very long time to load using Netscape Communicator 4, but works fine with IE. The vendor says this is a know problem and there is nothing they can do about it. Does anybody know anything about this, or know why it hangs?<br>
<br>
&lt;meta NAME=&quot;GENERATOR&quot; Content=&quot;Microsoft FrontPage 3.0&quot;&gt;<br>
&lt;title&gt;Exit Instrument&lt;/title&gt;<br>
&lt;/head&gt;<br>
<br>
&lt;body bgcolor=&quot;#C0C0C0&quot;&gt;<br>
<br>
&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br>
&lt;br&gt;<br>
<br>
<br>
&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br>
&lt;/p&gt;<br>
<br>
&lt;form method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;confirm.asp&quot;&gt;<br>
&lt;input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;choice&quot; value=&quot;ReadyToEvaluate&quot;&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;table border=&quot;1&quot;&gt;<br>
&lt;tr&gt;<br>
&lt;td&gt;I am done with this Instrument. &lt;br&gt;<br>
&lt;b&gt;Please submit&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br>
&lt;td&gt;&lt;input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;Submit&quot; onClick=&quot;location.href='reconfirm.asp';&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br>
&lt;/tr&gt;<br>
&lt;tr&gt;<br>
&lt;td&gt;I will complete this Instrument at a later time. &lt;br&gt;<br>
&lt;b&gt;Do not submit&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br>
&lt;td&gt;&lt;input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;Exit without submit&quot; onClick=&quot;location.href='instrumentList.asp?r=1&Userid=sample167&Pswd=kefmopx';&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br>
&lt;/tr&gt;<br>
&lt;/table&gt;<br>
&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br>
&lt;/form&gt;<br>
&lt;/body&gt;<br>
&lt;/html&gt;<br>

I copied the HTML and tried it under Netscape 4.7, and it loaded just fine, as it did with IE 5. <p>John D. Saucier<br><a href=mailto:jsauce@net1plus.com>jsauce@net1plus.com</a><br><a href=

Also seems OK with NS4.5.

The real problem is with netscape Communicator versions &lt;4.5......they don't seem to like &quot;pop-up windows won't tell you how long it took me to figure out why certaing pages crashed my whole system 9 out of 10 times.....there seem to be a few javaScript glitches in NS&lt;4.5, so if you upgrade, you <u><i>should</u></i> be fine. <p>-Robherc<br><a href=mailto:robherc@netzero.net>robherc@netzero.net</a><br><a href= > </a><br>*nix installation & program collector/reseller.
