- How do I get rid of the "Stop running this script?" box
- Posted by shempmcgurk@netscape.net on April 25th, 2008
My internet provider recently switched me over from USB cable to
ethernet cable to connect my computer with my modem.
What started happening since then is that every time I go to a new web
site, I get a Windows Internet Explorer Box that comes up saying:
"Stop running this script? A script on this page is causing Internet
Explorer to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may
become unresponsive. Yes, No."
....and then I always choose "yes" and then things proceed normally.
Question: is there anything I can do to eliminate the continual coming-
up of this dialogue box?
I thank you in advance for your attention to this question.

Disable Script Debugging (Internet Explorer and before Disable Script

Microsoft's official method for dealing with this problem is here: 'How
to set time-out period for script'
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/175500)
A much quicker way is to use Firefox as apparently it doesn't have that
problem -- plus it's a safer web-browser than IE, mainly on account of
it not using any potentially unsafe ActiveX components.
Use IE only where you have no choice, such as the Microsoft Update
service (needs an ActiveX-aware browser).

Pip22,
Sorry to inform you - Firefox DOES have an "Unresponsive script" dialog - i
found this post because I'm troubleshooting a problem where automated testing
in Firefox keeps throwing this dialog. Furthermore, increasing the timeout
doesnt help as it just waits longer to show the dialog. I think its something
to do with my testing environment (Selenium 0.83 if anyone wants to know).
Anyway, I havent found any way to turn this off entirely in IE or Firefox -
you would have expected them BOTH to have a config setting to "always stop"
or "always continue" scripts after they reach the max runtime - its
ridiculous how the user needs to click a button to continue - why not just
show it somewhere else and NOT interrupt browsing (e.g. privacy warnings,
page errors dialog, or console in FF)!? .... But oh well, dreams are free
