Web Gallery Slow Script

Hi,

Every time I connect to any of my Web Galleries I get a message that says..

Slow Script
A script on page ".Mac Web Gallery - NameofGallery"
(http//gallery.mac.com/nameofgallery) is
making Safari unresponsive. Do you want to continue
running the script, or stop it?

If I say stop the gallery runs fine but the message keeps popping up.
If I say Continue the message goes away and the gallery works.
Anyone know what this message is about and how to get rid of it?

Thanks.

Pat.

Sounds like some Javascript is executing very slowly (or perhaps looping waiting for images to download), and that this is hogging CPU resources - so Safari realising this asks if you want to discontinue the script.

Chances are that the piece of Javascript is trying to access unavailable resources (perhaps images) due to servers being poorly responsive or out of action temporarily.

I've seen this before with either Internet Explorer of Firefox on some websites, and you get warned that the script on the page is taking too much time to execute, again giving you the option to cancel it.

Have you tried another browser, just in case Safari has a problem?

I am having problems both at work and at home, on windows and macintosh. My brother has t3 connection, and he said that it is extremely slow. What gives? Even my old pages are loading super slow. Who finds .mac running nice and fast?
