to fix it I have this older amazon script that suddenly starting hanging up to the delight of my host if I view it it in firefox it freezes sort of , it seems to load fine in IE but the status bar keeps saying its doing something like check it out http://negative-procreative.biz/stuff-0679772677.html if you wait a second and tyr to do a view source nothing happens but if you hit file save as and look at the code there is this tacked on <table style="display: none;" id="seolinks-stats" cellspacing="0"><tr><td colspan="5" id="seolinks-anchor"></td></tr><tr><td colspan="5"><a id="seolinks-url"></a></td></tr><tr id="seolinks-engines"><th></th><th><img alt="Google" src="blank_files/google.png"></th><th><img alt="Yahoo" src="blank_files/yahoo.png"></th><th><img alt="MSN" src="blank_files/msn.png"></th></tr><tr><th><a class="help">Links</a></th><td class="seolinks-stat" id="GoogleLinks">--</td><td class="seolinks-stat" id="YahooLinks">--</td><td class="seolinks-stat" id="MSNLinks">--</td></tr><tr><th><a class="help">Rank</a></th><td class="seolinks-stat" id="GoogleRank">--</td><td class="seolinks-stat" id="YahooRank">--</td><td class="seolinks-stat" id="MSNRank">--</td></tr></table></body></html> also this #seolinks-stats a { text-decoration: none; color: #2059AE; background: #FFFFBE; margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; } #seolinks-stats { border: #efe0b2 .5em solid; background: #FFFFBE; font: normal small/1em arial,verdana,sans-serif; position: absolute; z-index: 99999999999999; display: none; padding: 0; margin: 0 0 10px 0; color: #000; } #seolinks-stats th { padding: .25em; font: bold small/1em arial,verdana,sans-serif; text-align: right; color: #000; border: 0; background: #FFFFBE; } #seolinks-stats td { padding: .25em; font: normal small/1em arial,verdana,sans-serif; text-align: left; color: #000; border: 0; background: #FFFFBE; } #seolinks-stats td.seolinks-stat { text-align: center; font: bold medium/1em arial,verdana,sans-serif; } #seolinks-engines th { text-align: center; } #seolinks-stats .help { text-decoration:none; font: bold small/1em arial,verdana,sans-serif; color: #000; } these in itself seem to be harmless execpt for the fact that they create hidden text, I'm figuring that what the script is connecting to is causing the script hang up Is there anything I should look for in particular?
