Slow script error

IE8 is throwing a slow script error when we try and run the following command (in tests/playback or "evaluate expression"):

_popup("Editor")._click(_image("Menu, _near(_span("Activity))));

It works in firefox though.

    Hi CReade,

    Could you please try this:

    Open sahi/htdocs/spr/concat.js
    Search for 
                for (var i=1; i<7; i++){
                parents[parents.length] = this.getParentNode(relations.element, "ANY", i);
            }

    Replace it with 
                for (var i=1; i<5; i++){
                parents[parents.length] = this.getParentNode(relations.element, "ANY", i);
            }
    (We are reducing the number of parent elements to look up)

    Restart Sahi, clear browser cache and check again.

    Regards,
    Narayan

    Thanks for getting back to us (in both ways). Switching it to loop 4 times fixed one use of _near but most of them still error out. For now we're using a registry hack (Microsoft kb 175500) to stop the errors from appearing. We may switch to xpath + Javascript-XPath.

    Hi Creade,

    It looks like there is some element nearby which is rather heavily nested. If we could do a desktop share session to see how your UI is, we may be able to fix this.
