Facebook Comments widget makes page jump to bottom in IE7 IE8 - javascript

I have a fairly long page with the Facebook comments widget at the bottom. With this widget in place the page jumps to the bottom on loading in IE7 and IE8. Whenever I remove the widget the page loads normally. This doesn't happen on any other browser. Can anyone suggest any way to prevent this? I've tried appending the .fb-comments div and calling FB.XFBML.parse() on it on document ready, but the behaviour in this case is the same.

This is a Facebook bug. I think they are working on it. If you go to the developers area on FB is a thread discussing it.

Also occurs in IE9, no updates in the last weeks for my web applications, should be a facebook bug or IE bug

Why does Firefox lag using NVDA on a page setting textContent?

Recently I've been testing my website using screen readers and ran into a page that lags like crazy when using NVDA. More specifically:
All browser actions are substantially delayed, but NVDA itself runs perfectly fine
For example, the page normally loads in its entirety in less than a second, but with NVDA active, the first image can take several minutes to render
Refreshing the page takes several minutes to execute
Even switching or closing the tab takes several seconds
After some extensive debugging, I isolated the issue into a rather specific set of criteria causing the slowdown:
This only happens on Firefox (I'm currently on Firefox 90); Chrome and Edge are fine
This only happens with NVDA; VoiceOver on Mac is fine even on Firefox. I do not have JAWS.
The action causing a slow down is setting an element's textContent on every requestAnimationFrame, so it's happening dozens of times per second
I am uncertain if this is experimentally significant, but I'm running on Windows 10 Home
I managed to scrape together a minimal CodePen example. I used CodePen here because the simplest way I could replicate the issue was by refreshing the page. In the example is a refresh button that activates a spinner, so if the page is fast the spinner will show up for only a brief moment; if it's slow then you'll get to observe the spinner in all its glory.
What I see when I try to refresh:
So while I isolated what is causing the issue, I have no idea why this is happening and hence how to solve my original page's problem without deactivating the widget outright.
What might be the underlying cause(s) of Firefox/NVDA slowing down on a page setting textContent?
Is there an alternative to setting textContent that I can or perhaps should consider?
Is this perhaps an issue that should be filed directly with either Firefox, NVDA, or both?
Thank you!

Angular2: Scrollbar hide on use router.navigate

Im developing a fairly normal web application using Angular2. I've run into an annoying problem: From time to time scrolling up and down does not work.
There is no errors or anything to indicate why this problems occurs. Only solution is to refresh the page, and scrolling will work again. This problem has been observed in all major browsers (Safari, Chrome, and Firefox).
Does anyone know what might be the root of this problem? and on use of this.router.navigate() the navigated page has no scrollbar until i refresh the page manually.
Faced the same issue. my issue was there wee popups which i used, using ngxsmartmodal. After closing needed to remove it which i was not doing.

IE iFrame loading icon

Good day,
I have a problem with IE and iframes.
So I have a huge application with legacy code, designed in early 2000. iFrames are used everywhere.
When something big is loaded inside the iframe, there is no display in browser throbber. So the loading icon starts spinning only when the main page is loaded, not iframes, so its impossible to say if anything is happening at all.
The users complain, that IE10+ gives them this problem, earlier versions worked. For me IE9 also has this issue.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to use JS on every page and manually add the 'loading please wait' icon or message, there are more than 100 pages with more then one iframe on each.
Chrome works fine, but nothing except IE can be used.
Could you please recommend solution for this trouble?

FF - Iframe in contentEditable are not loading javascript

I'm currently trying to put together a rich text editor that includes widgets from a different location then the site the rich text editor is on. I'm doing this by providing an Iframe in the content area that is placed at the cursor.
Now the idea behind this instead of providing some kind of placeholder until they finish editing is so they can see what they are talking about while they type.
Now the iframe works perfectly fine in Chrome loads the content as expected, but in Firefox it seems to have disabled javascript in this case (notice none of the script files being downloaded), which is an issue as the widgets are extremely javascript heavy and don't function without it.
I have provided below a JSFiddle showcasing this issue, the site im loading in the iframe is just a javascript game but you will see it doesn't work in firefox but its okay in chrome!

Any help is appreciated
Scripts won't be executed when designMode is activated (source). Internet explorer was the first browser to add this feature, and Mozilla implemented a similar function, heavily inspired by Microsoft.
Your code functions in Chrome, because Chrome has implemented designMode in a different way.
Well after some research and experimentation I was dealing with two different issues that looked like one.
Firstly I made a change to the rich text editor I was using to use contentEditable only as this seems to be the standard going forward and its a heavily html5 app im working on. So with designMode = 'Off'; the iframe would load in normal situations. But I had a strange issue where adding the iframe to soon after adding another element to the editable area caused the iframe not to load, so just delaying the add of the iframe by some time allowed that dynamically added iframe to load!
Problem solved!

How can i stop IE hanging whilst loading Facebook Social plug in (Like box) on my site?

I have implemented the Facebook like button on my site by using the asynchronous JS SDK and it's working great! However it takes a long time to load, which is not a great problem (Would be nicer if it loader quicker though..) as the rest of the page loads fine.
However, if your view the the site in any version of IE the whole page is unresponsive until Facebook Like / comments have loaded... All the images and other scripts are loaded, but the whole page is locked.
Any ideas on how i can rectify this for IE users?
I have seen this post: How do I keep the Facebook like button from delaying the loading on my website? but this was solved by using the Async version, where as mine IS using this and still hanging?
If it helps I can post a link to my site / page that it appears on?
Well, my only advice here is to place your FB JS code just before the </body> tag. But I have other "tips" for your site in general.
Try to minify/combine your CSS and JS files when possible
Try moving your JS code to the body tag (at the end)
Do you really need the Prototype AND jQuery libraries?! try removing one of them and port the functionality to the other (almost all tasks can be done with either library)
In the end, IE was hanging because I had a CSS3 transform on my images and apparently this slows down IE (Even though it cannot render the transform. So i can disable by this via conditional comments in the CSS or in my case modernizr.
