IE6 Can’t Handle This

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 03.2009

This code just won’t work in IE6, it freezes up the browser everytime. Why is it doing this?

[CODE]if ((document.body.offsetHeight – 225) < document.getElementById(“navigate”).offsetHeight){
document.getElementById(“explore”).style.height = (document.getElementById(“navigate”).offsetHeight + 225) + “px”;
}[/CODE]

Why is it doing this?

[CODE]alert((document.getElementById("navigate").offsetHeight + 225) + "px");[/CODE]

@atripsMay 05.2009 — Error in your page is not because of above mentioned code. It's because of this script-

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.thewebbakery.com/global/scripts/twitter.js"></script>

you can check by removing this script from your page.

@atripsMay 06.2009 — can you please elaborate more about how you are performing your tests?

@GreyfishauthorMay 06.2009 — Thankyou for your help atrips but my problem is not with how I am testing. I have isolated the problem and it lies in the following code...

[CODE]
if ((document.body.offsetHeight - 225) < document.getElementById("navigate").offsetHeight){
document.getElementById("explore").style.height = (document.getElementById("navigate").offsetHeight + 225) + "px";
}else{
document.getElementById("explore").style.height = 100 + "&#37;";
}
[/CODE]

Success!
