Sphere Related Content Is VERY FAST To Load
May 25, 2007 · Print This Article
We recently learned about a harmless but annoying bug in Firefox. Sometimes, even after a page and all included scripts have finished loading, you’ll see messages like “Transferring data from www.xyz.com ….” in the status bar., where xyz.com is the unfortunate site whose script was nice enough to let other scripts load ahead of it. Our <script> uses the defer attribute specifically so that it doesn’t cause any pileups during page load, and the end result is that it loads last and you might see “Transferring data from Sphere ..” in the Firefox status bar. Urgh. In fact, the page is done loading at this point. The message is a result of a bug (several related bugs, apparently).
