I got caught up in the USA election, and was visiting CNN Politics regularly. Towards the end of the election, they came up with an IFRAME ticker. This ticker will take 100% CPU if you let it, and the stop button does nothing to stop it. I have visited other sites that also seem to accumulate large amounts of CPU time for hours after I have seen the site (and left the browser active on that site). Turning off IFRAME in NoScript works, but really isn't the answer. Ajax can be annoying, and this is one situation where it is. There has to be some way of turning off this "out of bounds" programing when we don't want it. I would have hoped that the STOP button in the browser would do this. But, this button has absolutely no idea that something else is running, if it isn't the "main page", or so it seems to me. I want to be able to visit a site and see information is a second or two. At that point, I want ALL interaction initiated by that page to cease! I am willing to hit the STOP button to do this. Many hours later, I might want to refresh the page, to see new information. I will hit the STOP button again if need be. Is this something we can get? -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.23 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages iceape-browser depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 1.22.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.7-16 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.6.4-6.1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libfontconfig1 2.6.0-1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.7-2 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.3.2-1 GCC support library ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.6-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.11-4 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libhunspell-1.2-0 1.2.6-1 spell checker and morphological an ii libjpeg62 6b-14 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libnspr4-0d 4.7.1-4 NetScape Portable Runtime Library ii libnss3-1d 3.12.0-5 Network Security Service libraries ii libpango1.0-0 1.20.5-3 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpng12-0 1.2.27-2 PNG library - runtime ii libstdc++6 4.3.2-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 2:1.1.5-2 X11 client-side library ii libxft2 2.1.12-3 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxinerama1 2:1.0.3-2 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.4-2 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxt6 1:1.0.5-3 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime Versions of packages iceape-browser recommends: pn iceape-gnome-support <none> (no description available) Versions of packages iceape-browser suggests: pn iceape-dom-inspector <none> (no description available) pn iceape-mailnews <none> (no description available) ii latex-xft-fonts 0.1-8 Xft-compatible versions of some La ii libkrb53 1.6.dfsg.4~beta1-4 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
