  • 1. Internet Explorer Script Timeouts
    Internet Explorer Script Timeouts Internet Explorer has a "statements counter" for your scripts which defaults to 5,000,000. If your script exceeds this number, an enoying window is displayed telling you that the script has been running for a long time. For the time being I was not able to disable this, but here is how to set it to its maximun number: Create this registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Styles and add this DWORD entry: MaxScriptStatements = FFFFFFFF This will set the script statements counter to its max - 4billion+ statements. Caution! I fear that if you create custom control loops for balance sheet reports with millions of records, you might need to twick this registry entry. I am not a domain expert on reports, but I thought it was good to know about this. I will further investigate and will let you know if I find a workaround and more info about script timeouts.
  • 2. html to rtf in javascript
    hello is it possible to change the html code into rtf code? Example <b> --> \b </b> --> \b0 <i> --> \i </i> --> \i0 <u> --> \ul </u> --> \ul0 etc..... Is this possible?
  • 3. Can a VBArray (SAFEARRAY) be CREATED in javascript/jscript????
    I'm trying to call WMI methods that seem to require a vbarray. All attempts to access them while passing in javascript arrays have failed. Is there a way to create a vbarray from javascript? I'm aware of the VBARRAY object but it seems to be only for manipulating a previously existing vbarray in javascript...not for creating a new one. I'd rather steer clear of add-on COM objects and mixed vbscript/javascript code if I can. thanks, -- Gary Flynn Security Engineer - Technical Services James Madison University

IE, XMLHTTP and Norton Internet Security (Threes A Crowd)

Postby Monty » Fri, 08 Apr 2005 07:09:45 GMT

Hi all,

I developed an IE-centric web site that uses javascript and XMLHTTP to 
dynamically load info on the page from the server without having to re-load 
the page. It works awesomely! Recently I've received complaints from users 
of it not working, and the common thread is that these users have Norton 
Internet Security installed (sorry, don't know the version, but let's assume 
the latest). I don't have NIS. Can anyone give me clear instructions as to 
how a user can change his/her NIS settings so that a certain site may be 
trusted or so that users can use sites that utilize the XMLHTTP object? Even 
when they shut off NIS, occasionally it still won't allow access until they 
actually set it for manual start-up and then restart their computer. TIA

Monty, is this a public web site? Can you post the URL?

XMLHTTP is becoming very popular for good reason (for example, 
 http://www.**--****.com/ ). Maybe there are some specific things that can be 
done to get around Norton's behavior.

2.Norton Internet Security download Lock at msxml3

I am running Windows Me and have just purchased Norton Internet Security but 
every time I try to run from the disk the auto setup locks at "msxml3".

How will I be able to overcome this and allow the auto setup to get past 
loading in msxml3. Can I delete from my hard drive prior to loading Norton 
Int Security?


3.Integrated Security problem on XMLHTTP Request - Finaly IE Crash

Hi Group, I've a problem when I call via Ajaxs a page that is on
Integrated Security. The result come back but if i sniff with Fiddler
the calls to my server for my surprise have two, one came back with an
error of authentication "You are not authorized to view this page", 401
classic, and the other with the result of my call. The most weird case
is that the IE after 10 request aprox, crash...memory leak, this off
course is the real problem.

I'm using IE 6.0 w Sp1 and the last Ho fixes, on the server I have W3K
RC2.

The method of call via Ajaxs is POST.

	The call code Sample:

var xml;

	try { xml = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP.4.0")}catch(ex){}
	try { xml = new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")}catch(ex){}
	try { xml = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")}catch(ex){}

xml.open("POST", url, async);
	xml.setRequestHeader("Content-type",
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
	xml.setRequestHeader("Content-length", data.length);
	xml.setRequestHeader("Accept-Encoding", "gzip, deflate");
	
	xml.send(data);


Help please!.

Thanks to all,
Damian.

4.Security-glitch in IE Using XMLHttp?

I have this little test-page using Ajax to
grab a simple date-string from the server.
This works as expected in IE, FF, NS, etc.

This morning I changed the path to my little
server-side "date-script", so it pointed to
another web-server. Ie. Not the same site
as the page containing my ajax script came from.

As expected, FF, Opera and NS now failed with
a "security permission", *but* IE plodded
happily along and executed the now cross-domain
call and gave me the result. No errors, no warnings...

Is this a well nown fact, or have I discovered
something here?

5.XMLHTTP and IE security issue

Hi,

Back in the days of NT4/IE5 I wrote an HTTP client using XMLHTTP, and it 
worked fine. Today I tried to run it under Win2k/IE6 and get "Permission 
Denied". If I change the Internet security zone setting in IE6, for 
"Access Data across Domains" it starts working.

I don't understand the problem; I can "get" the page in IE6, so why not 
from XMLHTTP? I don't really want to change the security setting in IE6 
to get it to work...

I then tried the same thing in .NET, and got the same error.
