quitting netsurf
For recent versions of NS, as compared with version #417 (9 Oct 2012), the load times are similar, but the quit times are between ten and twenty times greater. For each result below, NS was quit, the Log file and Cache deleted, NS was loaded, and then quit, without displaying any web pages version load quitlog secsec KB #417 14 3 14 v3.0 16 31 14 #1125 jsoff16 31 14 For each result below, NS was quit, the Log file and Cache deleted, NS was loaded, used to display three web pages. http://news.bbc.co.uk/ , http://www.theregister.co.uk/ , http://www.iconbar.com/ , and then quit version load quitlog secsec KB #417 14 3164 v3.0 16 51412 #1125 jsoff16 59411 All tests were made on a RiscPC, running RO 6.20. Since the protracted quit can be a nuisance, when wanting to shut down the machine in a hurry, is there any option which can reduce this time? Tony

Using NS #1125, with JS turned off, the page displays without problem. However, if JS is turned on, loading never completes, and the NS display remains blank. Does this require a bug-report? No response, so I'll assume not. Tony

No response, so I'll assume not. This happens on a number of pages - ie jsoff is fine but json displays nothing or parts of the page are missing. I assume it means that when a server sends a js page, it is too complex for NetSurf to parse and hence goes awry, whereas if the non-js page is sent, that displays fine. -- Chris Johnson

Yes, I think this describes the problem very well, except one thing: netsurf probably doesn't fail to parse the js. But once the js code get's executed, it hit's the problem that netsurf doesn't implement much of the DOM binding, or other browser specific additions to javascript (like ajax, for example).
