Javascript/browser? very slow on my computer!!
Hi, Hope this is the right forum to ask in.
Anyway in IE I go to this site and I click on computing on the left hand menu and it takes from about 6 to 15 seconds to open the submenu. I then click on "desktop PC's" and it takes 14 seconds to open that menu. (normally about 14 seconds for the first menu, I guess I just 'got lucky' last time when it opened in a *mere* 6 seconds. However I then had the bright idea of trying a different browser, Mozilla Firefox and I got much better results. It took only about 2-3 seconds to open each menu, not lightening fast I admit but atleast useable unlike the unbearable slow Internet Explorer operation. Actually futher investigation reveals it may not just java script or the bits which I think are javascript which runs slow (I onlly though it was javescript because it said 'javascript void()' or similar in the bottom barof the browser which indicates what it is doing so that maybe a red herring, it now seems IE may just be slower at eveything. For example Clicking on 'specification' or 'key features' has similar 15 second against 2-3 seconds in the respective browsers. http://www.currys.co.uk/martprd/stor...m=19&sm=5&tm=1 Then again I tried another slow page in IE, which turned out to be miles slower in Firefox, so I am rather confused!! http://home.skysports.com/optastats....nited&cp id=8 Yep that page is painfully slow in Firefox and also the graphics are a bit screwed up, it also reloads the page unnecessarilly. Help!!!!!!!! Just to add to the confussion I have the full google toolbar on IE but just a small google serachbox on Firefox. (wondered if it might be related to that but probably another read herring. My computer is pretty old, Cyrix MII 300, 128meg ram IE 6.0, Firefox 1.0.4 So its a pretty simple problem really ;O) no doubt you wise owls can sort it out ;;O) |

Many are trivial, but some aren't: 'Line 1794 column 95: element "SPACER" undefined" ...=122 class=wh-level1BottomGapspacer/td/tr' Send them an e-mail describing how crap you found the site and that you were going to purchase 100 PCs from them - but since their site shows them to be technical idiots you'll now go elsewhere. -- Rob |

Also, what Albert did is called "cross-posting", which allows the OP to address the question to more than one appropriate newsgroup and is perfectly acceptable, within reason. "Multi-posting" is posting the same message to different NGs as individual messages. The advantage of cross-posting is that once it's been read in one group, it's marked "Read" in all groups. Also, all answers appear in all groups (usually) and thus there's less repeating of answers. -- Gary S. Terhune MS-MVP Shell/User |

You may have the time to re-read each post in a thread to find out whats been asked/answered/done/not done/settings/etc. I dont. Snip and its Later Gator! night TB and Mozilla dont mark messages read in multiple groups. in any case discussion is over, I'm out of here, I dont participate in threads which Ihave to re-read over and over again just to find out whats going on, I dont have that time. |

I am actually going to the store to try and get a refund of an item on My reciept which I didn't want (product warrenty), I will also have to return another TV to them which was faulty out of the box. I was actually going to buy a PC from them but obviously now thats a worrying though. Unfortunately they have a virtual monoloply in such good in the UK so they can staff themselves with idiots and crooks. Hopefull someone will burn down all their stores someday. -- Rob |
