[Abdulaziz A.]

Hi,

Please find the below video:

While loading the ListGrid We are getting the error "Stop running the script" in IE8.
I suspect that Wherever we have more columns in the grid then I am getting this error. So, Please provide us any solution to resolve this problem.

Version: Isomorphic SmartClient/SmartGWT Framework (v9.0p_2014-01-14/PowerEdition Deployment 2014-01-14)

Browser: IE8

We are using HTML5 doc type as well.

Thanks in advance

This is due to IE's broken means of detecting runaway / infinite loop scripts.

There is no general purpose way of avoiding it other than Windows registry changes that turn the detection off, but that requires having end users customize their machines which is generally not acceptable.

Other than that, you need to tune your code to be faster. To help with that, we need actual running code to analyze. Screencasts or partial information won't help.

Also note that sending a test case that forces the runaway script dialog to appear (by creating thousands of widgets, 5000 column ListGrids, etc) also won't enable us to help. We need full, running code for your actual scenario.

Finally, revisit the FAQ - HTML5 DOCTYPE actually makes IE8 and earlier *slower*, even though it is required for IE9 and above. So for best performance, leave IE8 in quirks mode.
