[gentoo-user] Konqueror and javascript

[Etaoin Shrdlu]

After upgrading to kde 3.5.2, I noticed that simply going to 
http://www.microsoft.com :-) crashed konqueror consistently even on 
different machines.
Enabling javascript debug, I found that, before crashing, a javascript 
error was produced.
Then I did some tests to verify konqueror's javascript support status, 
and I found that lots of sites which use javascript are not working (or 
only partially working) with konqueror, while all seems well with 
firefox and ie.
Now, I have no special knowledge of javascript, so my question is: are 
these problems due (as happened some times in the past) to konqueror 
being too strict (and firefox and ie being more permissive) about 
javascript or, rather, is konqueror's javascript support that is buggy 
(although this sounds strange to me)?

Thanks

I think I saw this a week or so ago on linuxquestions forums.  You may
want to check there too.  From what I have read, M$ does not use the
internet standard and web browsers that do seem to crash.

I recently ran into something similiar with shockwave on the disney
website.

Konqueror doesn't handle some complex scripts wery well.
Use any mozilla clone or ie. Even opera's doing better nowadays.

The microsoft.com crashing is a known problem that is fixed in kde 3.5.3.

Hmm, I didn't seem to have such issues running 3.5.2 (now 3.5.3.).
What do you have under "Browser Identification" for Konqueror
configuration?  This can have an effect as to what javascript a web
site sends to your browser to execute, and what it expects your
browser/platform to be capable of.

Still running 3.5.2 and can confirm that the M$ bug works flawlessly ;-)

However, if you go to Browser Identification tab and untick the box
"Add operating system name" it does not crash anymore.
