more people with this problem?

[wax]

hi everyone,

we've got a strange problem:
all systems crash on the permissionpage (of the categories)
on our site. so we can't use the pulldowns to set permissions.

we have over 75 categories wich results in a 102 kb large page.

we've tried to view the permissions with different systems and OS:

-. pentium 2 and 3: only few pulldowns visible in netscape,
   explorer shows nothing.
-. amd 800 mhz: the same
-. apple G4: shows up fine in explorer, netscape crashes like hell.

the page seems to use up all internal memory on the machines.
after visiting the permissionpage, we get messages of low memory,
have to exit all programs, or right click is suddenly disabled etc.

anyone with ideas how to avoid this? We can't do it on the G4
(it's not ours..)

(for Jan: you had no problems at all, what system do you use?)

what can be the problem? the coding looks fine.
we are getting a bit depressed right now, so any help would be really nice.

thanks

hi everyone,

thanks for thinking with me!
it seems that handling form-elements is a local-userthing.
overall: explorer handles form-elements worse then
netscape.

i have solved the problem by replacing the pulldowns in
radiobuttons, everything works fine now.

also: thanks Jan for your support!

greets,

here is the changed code for the people who want it:
change admin/usergroups.php  line 67 in this:

        if ($cat_cache[$category_id][$val] == AUTH_ACL) {
          if (isset($cat_access_array[$category_id]) && $cat_access_array[$category_id][$val] == 1) {
            echo "<input type='radio' name='auth[", $category_id, "][", $val, "]' value='1' checked='checked' /> ", $lang["yes"], " \n";
            echo "<input type='radio' name='auth[", $category_id, "][", $val, "]' value='0' /> ", $lang["no"], " \n";
        }
          else {
          echo "<input type='radio' name='auth[", $category_id, "][", $val, "]' value='1' /> ", $lang["yes"], " \n";
       echo "<input type='radio' name='auth[", $category_id, "][", $val, "]' value='0' checked='checked' /> ", $lang["no"], " \n";
        }
