Thank you Judy.
Chad, I am looking into this issue, but seems the likely cause would be either a resource issue on the client or a loading issue from the server to the client.
I currently have the fix installed on 5 sites, and have surfed them together for a while and not been able to reproduce the problem clearly. After I closed them all I went back to scifi for a moment and the surfbar did freeze while loading for a moment, but I stopped and refreshed it and all was fine. I am trying to reproduce that again but not sure if it was the problem you are having or just a momentary fluke. This freeze was because the page hadn't finished loading so the javascript had not started to run yet. Do you know if that is the problem you are having?
For a resource issue, javascripts are run by the browser that loads them, so if you have many javascripts running at once it could slow a computer to the point where it would freeze. This seems unlikely for you but it is a possibility.
I had read in this other thread here there are some complaints about javascript lag in ventrino sites, so I will look and see if there may be some way to optimize those scripts:
http://www.ventrino.com/forums/index.php?s...=14517&st=0It would be a bit iffy for sites not running on a dev version of ventrino though as there is a large block of code that is inside the surfbar file itself. This is where the original timer code dwells.
The best thing there would be for a future ventrino update to remove the javascript from the surfbar files and put them into a javascript file that is called by the surfbar. This would allow owners the ability to modify the javascript more freely in the future, but for now I'll see what can be done there.
