are there any known problems with quixe on internet explorer? according to the quixe homepage it has been tested with IE7 & 8… i’m here on 7.0.5730.11 and am finding the following problems:

“A script on this page is causing Internet Explorer to run slwly. IF it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive. Stop running the script?”

“A script on this page is causing Internet Explorer to run slwly. IF it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive. Stop running the script?”
and all of the ifcomp.org glulx “play online” links:
nothing at all. not even a spinning compass. the z-code parchment ones are fine though.
i dont get these problems when using google chrome through, so it seems to be browser-specific. has anybody got quixe working with internet explorer? thanks.
All the play-remote links work the same way. They should either all work or all not work.
Reliques happens to be a very slow game, particularly at the beginning – it takes most of a minute to start running on my (old) G4 Mac. That may be the only problem there.
Rover isn’t nearly as slow, but conceivably has the same problem.
Advent (your third link) isn’t slow, and I don’t know why it would fail.
The ifcomp links (but none of the others) are going through a web server proxy ( zcode.appspot.com/proxy/ ) which does some necessary base64 encoding. That’s clearly not working for you, but I’m not sure why. (The Z-code games use the same proxy.)

“A script on this page is causing Internet Explorer to run slowly. IF it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive. Stop running the script?”. (if i stop running script, get spinning compass rose forever. if i reply “No” 13 times in sequence, it does eventually launch ok!)
any ifcomp page “play online” link eg ifcomp.org/comp10/play.php?id=146
“A script on this page is causing Internet Explorer to run slwly. IF it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive. Stop running the script?” (if i stop running script, spinning compass rose forever, partially obscured at top of screen. if i continue running script, no response, nothing. with no error output to speak of.)
