problems with this site locking up your PC? I wrote PL on it. I got into the site by going thru a link on my home page module. When I click on the URL to get to the site----locks up my PC. Every time. I have another browser page open now- and it's frozen on the main URL. Using IE6 and XPHome. Never seen this before.

It did lock up Internet Explorer a couple of times at work. But it worked the third time :)

I have a suspicion what may cause it Brinke (the Google bars!) and sent you an email for reproducing this if possible.

Sigh. I was able to reproduce it with BrowserPool.de. It's the new AJAX Search API widgets.

Ionut: Google calls them the "Book Bar" and the "News Bar".

I know, I read about it last night. I even put the news bar at the bottom of my blog.

I find animations on websites annoying, so I'll steer clear from this (except for sample purposes of course)...
