= Description =

Putting a macro that generates a form inside of a table will cause IE8 to respond slowly and eventually respond with a popup window asking if user wants to stop running this script.

== Steps to reproduce ==

View this page with IE 8. 

== Example ==

Both the !FullSearch and !NewPage macros will create the Javascript loop.
{{{
||<style="border: medium none;"> <<FullSearch>> ||
||<style="border: medium none;"><<NewPage(ItUnixProcessDocument,Create a new page here,@SELF)>>||
}}}

{{{#!wiki dashed
||<style="border: medium none;"> <<FullSearch>> ||
||<style="border: medium none;"><<NewPage(ItUnixProcessDocument,Create a new page here,@SELF)>>||
}}}

The resulting IE8 DOM display is odd.  The the entire div inside the form is repeated after the form. But the repeated fields are not displayed on the page.

= Discussion =

A revised common.js file that should fix the problem has been attached to this page.  Download the file and copy to .../htdocs/common/js/common.js.  Please confirm whether or not this fixes the problem.

(Another fix for an IE 9 Beta 1 bug dealing with textareas is included: http://moinmo.in/MoinMoinBugs/Ie9BetaFailsOnDoubleClick)


/!\ Can any other IE user please confirm bug and that patch fixes it?

----
I have confirmed the bug on IE8 (8.0.6001.18702) on WindowsXP and was able to fix it by patching .../htdocs/common/js/common.js.
If you still get the problem after updating the file, make sure to delete temporary internet files from IE in order to get the new version of the file. -- MikeTrzcianowski
