Re: [Treebase-devel] phylowidget

[Vladimir G. <vla...@du...>]

There might indeed be something special in my setup, so maybe be there  
is no need to worry.  I tried a couple more times and, regrettably,  
Firefox still hangs; details below.  The browser probably still caches  
something, what I cannot find a way to erase.

On my old pre-Intel Mac, Phylowidget started working, after just one  
or two initial hiccups.
For some time now, I have been using exclusively Safari to work with  
TreeBase.

I have now been doing this prior to each attempt to test Phylowidget.

I don't have this under the Tools menu, but this one is checked:
   Firefox menu > Preferences... > Content tab > Enable Javascript  
checkbox
I have also clicked "advanced" in that item and enabled all the little  
things that scripts might want to do (like hiding status bar).

I tried on your server -- the same story.

I answer "Bring it on!" on all security questions that pop up.

As a logged-in user, I tried looking at a tree that I have submitted  
myself -- no luck.
