You apparently know more than do I (not unusual). Correctly complying sites? Safari plays by the rules. Meaning the others don't? I need to do some more reading.

Firefox is fine if you want to go through the scripting options all the time.

Camino and Opera work fine for me. Though there may be security issues with them that I'm not aware of.

So far I have only had problem accessing this site. No problem with youtube or anywhere else.

Used the test/isolation procedure posted by Danarchy. Definitely a javascript problem.

I understand that a commercial site would not care. This really sucks for a Mac/OS X forum.

If it's the Javascript, a temporary solution would be to disable the client-side scripting enhancements option in your Control Panel here at DaniWeb.

I checked, client-side scripting was already disabled. Then disabled advertising javascript code, still no go.

As a test I enabled client-side scripting. Crashed immediately, did not even try to load the page.

Thanks for the replies folks.
I tried unchecking the scripting. Crash. Tried unchecking contextual advertising. Crash.
Just tried YouTube and it's loading fine now.

It seems like it must be something new on this site.
That's a shame, since I like this site And Safari too.
Using Camino at this moment.

This site now works on Safari. I don't know what happened to stop the problem and can't find the solved link to mark it solved without replying, so I apologize for bringing this old thread up again. Still using Camino as it uses less memory.

Working for me too now, however it takes a looong time to load a page. Keep waiting for the crash but it hasn't happened yet.

DaniWeb got hacked a few days ago using some sort of vBulletin vulnerability, and the hackers got root. Naturally, some changes were made to close the security hole, and this could have something to do with the rendered HTML of a page.

blud was running DaniWeb off of an alternate server while he did a complete OS reload of the primary server. I don't know if DaniWeb's still running off that, but if it is, that could account for the slowness.

Glad to hear it's working for you too. Safari was loading slowly on Daniweb for me too. So I'm back with Camino and glad for it. Loads pages much faster than Safari.

Sorry to hear that. They're hacking phones in unbelievable ways now too.
But this problem went back months ago when there were a lot of java problems and Daniweb had changed the site.

I think, just my uneducated opinion, that Safari, on OS X3.9 is just slow and a memory hog. Daniweb loads fine on Camino.

Thanks for the reply.
