Cause: The version of the mootools.js library that we are using is rather old (1.2.4) and has a bug that affects IE8.
Consequence: IE8 complains about "slow running script" and performs badly when submitting forms (or potentially exiting any page where we use the <object> tag)
Fix: We have patched the mootools.js library to address this specific problem without upgrading to the latest version to avoid introducing a great deal of work at this time.
Result: IE8 no longer complains about long-running scripts.
When I want to add or then remove broker link, I get following
warning (yes/no) after pressing submit in IE8 (Server2003):
Stop running this script?
A script on this page is causing Internet Explorer to run slowly.
If it continues to run, your computer might become
unresponsive.
YES NO
cumin-0.1.4746-1.el5
How reproducible: 100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. In IE8: Messaging -> broker -> Broker Links -> Broker Link Add
2. add some valid broker name, then press Submit
Actual results: The above-reprinted warning shows and the only help
is to press Yes. Then I am immediately transferred where I should
normally (seeing "Add broker link: OK" in yellow box, the Operational
link in the list).
Expected results: The underlying scripts should not make IE8 think
there is something wrong.
The same happens when I submit a new Submission from
Grid -> Submissions -> Submit job
The full error which follows right after
clicking on the "Yes" button (as to not
continue running the slow script):
