Sometimes during the initial loading of Formfaces on a
document, Firefox freaks out because the script takes a
while to run. I'm not sure if there's a way to inform
FF that your script is doing legitimate work and not
stuck in an infinite loop, and I haven't see much on
the web about this error. The message is "Warning:
Unresponsive Script" and the detail is "A script on
this page may be busy, or it may have stopped
responding. You can stop the script now, or you can
continue to see if the script will complete." Buttons
[Stop Script] and [Continue] are shown.

    I'm working on speeding up FormFaces on page load. If that's
    not enough, I have another idea on how to trick Firefox into
    not displaying this message (use setTimeout to strategically
    insert 1ms delays into the loading process, which should get
    Firefox to reset its timer).

    IE also will show the same message with the latest service pack.

    setTimeout sounds great...that was the first thing that came
    to mind here, too. (More versitile than using some
    mozilla-specific fix.) I think speed of Firefox is affected
    by my virus scanner--that may contribute to the issue
    showing up on my box.
