Details

Almost any link an this page causes a freeze. I've tried both the search box on the left side, and the IMDB Recommends link. This tested with my build from 4/6/2000 AM.
Confirmed with 2000-04-06-10-M15 on WinNT. Once the IMDB Recommends page begins to load, no change happens in the canvas area. Switching to another app and back results in the canvas area seeming transparent, but it is possible to go back to the main IMDB page, at which time the browser appears to operate correctly. The same sort of behaviour has previously been seen in bug 21005. This one needs some digging to figure out. The code for the link for IMDB Recommends is: > <td align="center"><b><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" > size="-2"><a href="/Recommends/">IMDb<br> > Recommends</a></font></b></td> but the URL reached by both NN 4.72 and Mozilla is http://us.imdb.com/Recommends/ - so there is clearly a redirect involved here. Raising severity to "critical" based on freeze, but leaving in "Browser-General" for now - at a complete loss as to whose problem this is.

thayes@netscape.com, sidr@albedo.net I've been playing around at this site with 041308 build under both 98 and NT and I can't reproduce the freeze. Can you check this site again. Thanks
Still seems to be working just fine on build 041409 under 98 and NT. Marking this WORKSFORME. Reporter if you still see this with a current build please re- open with comments.
