when i have an object with a style sheet like:
.mystyle {position:absolute; visibility: hidden}
and i try to script it the browsers takes over of the cpu (in taskmanager i get
100% of usage by Mozilla.exe) until crash. If i remove the style sheet it works
fine.

i've seen this with an applet that i script in order to make some calculations,
that works fine without style sheet and crashes with style sheet.

i've the same problem with a menu in dhtml and js that i was trying to do. If i
hide it is crashes with the script, else the menu works...

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. create an object with the style sheet .mystyle {position:absolute;
visibility: hidden}
2. script whatever is on that style
3. crash

Actual Results:  mozilla crashes

Expected Results:  since my applet doesn't have a gui, it should work, else some
kind of exception should be thrown, because my script is called inside a try
catch block.

Can you attach a simple test case ?

Comment 2

Attachment: a simple test case with source code...

the zip file contains a applet and 2 html files. the File1-ok works fine, the
file File1-bug hangs or crashes. the diferences are in a stylesheet applied to
an applet.

-> Oji

I see no hang/crash but i can't use any Menu command after i clicked on the link.
(CTRL+N or Window/Mail fails)

I'm using JRE1.4, it works for some people on IRC with JRE1.3
