Re: IE crashes with "Integer division by zero" after loading page
Hi Randy
In general, I absolutely agree. Thing with this IE application is, that
sometimes it loads successfully, sometimes it doesn't. It seems to me it's
actually IE code which causes the "Integer division by zero". What I'm
wondering is:
- does IE discard the entire page and linked files and load new (on F5? on
Ctrl-F5?)
- does IE keeb some stuff from a page in memory which "survives" a Ctrl-F5?
If I can load a page say 10 times and everything works and the 11th time it
crashes IE, I don't think the problem is primarily with the page, but with
IE.

All 7 times I tried to load that page, it crashed IE. I do not get the
error message, I only get the WinXP Dialog about sending an Error Report.
So for me, its something in the page because it happens every single
time. If there is a bug in IE itself, then something in your page is
triggering that bug. Hence the suggestion to find what is triggering the
bug. My eror is in MSHTML.DLL if that helps any. It is after the page
displays and it is downloading the data that it crashes.

Mine is 6.0.2600.2180.xpsp_gdr.050301-1519 which is also on WinXP SP2.
Wonder what the difference is?
I just tried to load it again and it says done once, then starts
downloading again, and makes it to item 34 and crashes.
Upon trying it again, I get an error message this time that I can only
read from the "undefined is null or not an object" as the error report
dialog covers it up and after moving the dialog it won't show the text,
its just white.
Attempt number 10, it only gives the error dialog box and once again it
makes it to item 34 and crashes. Item 34 is in the second set of
downloads. It loads the page, status bar says "Done", then it starts a
second download, item 34 and it crashes.
Attemp number 11, it crashes on item 33. I guess if I try it 33 more
times it will just crash upon opening :\

Re: IE crashes with "Integer division by zero" after loading page
Thanks a lot guys for the testing. For me, it confirms the "sometimes it
works, sometimes it doesn't" quality of the page. In a rather emotional
meeting yesterday, we decided to abandon using an embedded IE object as host
of our UI View components due exactly to this instability. We're going plain
Delphi now.
Thanks a lot
Simon
btw. If someone's interested, I'm gonna keep the buggy page posted for a
while...
