Title: Getting a script error message as clock nears 0
Post by: rbauman on December 02, 2009, 03:11:57 AM

Since I've began running TD on windows, as the clock nears zero in some rounds but not all of them I'm getting a Script error asking me if I want to continue to run script on this page, it doesn't effect the operation of TD answering yes or no, but it's rather annoying.

What version of the TD are you using?

Version 2.5.10

Hmm, that's odd.  This is normal operation of IE, as it is attempting to ensure an out-of-control script doesn't lock up the browser.  But the TD attempts to increase this timeout each time it runs in order to avoid this annoyance.

If you want to try yourself and are familiar with the registry editor (regedit), you can check/modify the value yourself.  It is:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Styles\MaxScriptStatements

The TD sets this to FFFFFFFF (in Hexadecimal) to minimize any timeouts.

Edit: you may have to create the "Styles" key and then the "MaxScriptStatements" key underneath (as a DWORD value).
