I have been using the Album Select all along in the "tree" configuration. About a month ago, I started seeing this warning when I was logged in as Admin:

Stop running this script?

A script on this page is causing Internet Explorer to run slowly. If it continues, your computer may become unresponsive.

Yes/No

If I click "yes", the album tree does not load, which is how I know that the problem is in there. Now I'm getting this warning even when I'm not logged in.... and so are all of my customers who are using IE. I've deleted and reinstalled the latest release of Album Select and also IE 8, but still getting the warning. It ONLY happens with IE. Mozilla, Opera, Safari, etc don't have this problem.

My host is at a loss for ideas as am I.
Any ideas here?

Thanks,
Andrew

PS. if you go to the url using IE, you can see the warning for yourself.

Hi Dave,

I tried it with a few different themes and still got the same script warning. The only one that did not produce the warning was the Floatrix theme (flash based) but I wasn't keen on the appearance. Also, there is not much customization available with Floatrix (copyright footer, logo, etc)

I've since had to disable the DHTML Album Select module because it was starting to freeze up my machine. It's unfortunate. The album tree was very handy for navigating my Gallery...

I came to the same assumption. When this first started, I could click "no" and the page including the problem script would load normally. Now, if I click "no" the page freezes up. Since I've added a few more events, it makes sense that there is a finite number of albums the script can process. You are correct, though, that the dropdown album select works fine. However, I have way too many albums to make it practical.

If you or any other developers who may be reading this have the inclination to delve into it further, my suggestion would be to have the script read only the top level albums as needed. Then, when one branch is opened, it can access the album info for only those sub-albums. Since I don't have any script experience, though, I don't even know if that is possible.

Thanks,
Andrew

PS. as a point of curiosity, does it make sense to you that this was only happening with IE? If it's a script problem, then shouldn't it happen regardless of which browser is accessing it? That's one thing I can't wrap my head around...

now, THAT is interesting! With all the scripts on all the websites in the global community, it took my little ol' album select to find IE's limit.

I may follow up with them....

Thanks Dave.
