My website causes Safari to freeze on OSX - PC works fine though!

HI.
My web page (composed on Dreamweaver CS3) at http://kareltests.co.uk causes Safari running on Mac OSX (10.4.11) to freeze up if I try to close the window or navigate away. The page works fine otherwise, as does everything else. Only when trying to close the page, or navigate away, is there a prob. I then have to 'force quit' to get out. This behavioiur is something very new. The Mac is copmpletely updated, the last update being some weeks ago.
I've tried playing all the embedded videos through to the end to see if that makes any difference, but it doesn't. Restarting the Mac doesn't fix it.
I also tried emptying the cache and the window closed ok, but only once. The problem returned on re-opening Safari when going back to that page. Emptying the cache again doesn't clear it - that only worked once.
On a PC on any player, including Safari, there's no prob. Just on my Mac.
Maybe it's worth noting that I deleted a lot of redundant code (DW does like to generate a mountain of the stuff) but it's worked fine for months. Not any more.
Any ideas?
p.s. just discovered that if I leave the page open for several minutes it closes ok.
This 'fix' has now worked twice, but it's hardly a solution, though it may provide a clue...?
Many thanks.

"12 Errors, 4 warning(s) "
Thanks. I know about that. The errors are small nit-picky things that can be ignored. Most of them are in the embedding coding supplied by the video hosts which the validator doesn't recognise.
For instance, http://apple.com generates "6 Errors, 1 warning(s)" And this forum page will give you "55 errors, 44 warning(s)"! Does that really mean I can code better than Apple?

Safari 6 freezes with OSX 10.7.5

I'm using a recent Safari 6.1.6 update - and am now experiencing a problem I never had before with Safari on my OSX 10.7.5 MacBook Air system.
I am unable to use Safari for more than fifteen minutes or so before it freezes, and always when I'm switching to a new tab to view something. I never have more than six or seven tabs open. This is particularly irritating when I'm downloading material at the time, which is instantly lost, of course. Safari did freeze with earlier versions, but rarely more than once or twice a week.
Is there a way to return to earlier versions of Safari? Would this help? Any suggestions - preferable a solution - gratefully received.

Some websites cause safari to close

I have been browsing several different sites and whilst the page will open, navigating to the next page causes safari to momentarily stop responding and then shut down taking me back to the home screen. It is not every site and i have tried a reset. I am running OS 3.1.2(7D11)
I use a photography site which always causes safari to act as i have described; could it be the site or is it my iPhone?
www.deviantart.com is one site where the issues is showing. This is only a recent issue; it was fine until about 2 days ago.

Keyboard numeric pad causes safari to freeze.

I have an aluminuium wired keyboard, and since I downloaded the latest software update this week, the numeric keypad doesnt work, and casues Safari to freeze and i have to force quit. I have snow leopard. Any ideas? I have a magic mouse which up till this week is my pride and joy!

I don't know about making Safari freeze, but if the numbers don't work, you may have the option to use it instead of the mouse turned on.
Check System Prefs > Universal Access > Mouse for the Mouse Keys ON button.

Hotmail causing safari to freeze

Hi,
I am new to this forum do bear with me pls.
I have a new mac, and have tried to configurate the hotmail account to the mail progarmme on the mac. Three problems:
1. All of the files over transferred over to the mac from the hotmail account and have been moved from the inbox to the deleted folder in the hotmail ( not sure if this is due to other problems with hotmail?).
2. None of the emails in the my personal folders from the hotmail account have migrated over, just the ones in the inbox
3. Now every time I log into hotmail to access the personal folders the Mac crashes and hotmail freezes.
Help anyone? Pleeze I need some advice, at least how to save the folders from my hotmail account.
Thanks

SAFARI WON'T OPEN [ but firefox works fine ]

not sure what could be causing this...i tried what some other posts on the same issue suggested, ie opened safari in an another account [ it opened ] also tried getting rid of possible corrupted cookies ... no help at all ,,, does anybody have any ideas? could this be some problem with a software update i did [ i am wondering if downloading updates that are really for the new macs will screw up the older macs like mine ]

Since the problem doesn't appear to be associated with iTunes, you'll probably get quicker responses if you ask in the Safari forum.

Firefox 3.6.2 won't display the CSS correctly in VBulletin 4.1. Safari, Explorer and Firefox 4 beta work fine!

My upgraded site: http://www.thesabrehood.org/thehood/forum/ has CSS that displays fine with Safari and IE and the new Firefox Beta 4... but it won't display with the latest upgrade of FF3.6x. Obviously you fixed some code in V4 beta.. how about fixing 3.6x while you're at it!!!!

I also have this problem and it just started in the last week or so. It seems to be dependent on my home network and the problem only exists with firefox. I have used chrome and IE8 with no issues. I can verify tomorrow that it only exists in my network but one thing I was able to test is that the problem exists even on my linux boot. I am totally dumbfounded with this problem and I can't find anything that will allow the gmail page to load. All other pages I have tried load fine, all be it a little slower than normal but they load. If anyone knows of a difference between firefox and all other browsers on how it goes through the router I would appreciate the info cause I don't know of any differences.

My iMac freezes up after starting, works fine in safe mode. What to do?

Hey,
I've got an iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 24" with Mac OS X 10.5.8 and a few days ago it froze while playing a game and watching an online video at the same time. When I turned it on the next morning all seemed fine but after half an hour it froze up again while doing the same thing. After this it froze up everytime within minutes of starting up. When it freezes it gives me a light purple, dark or grey screen. No error messages or anything.
When I start it using safe mode it works just fine.
I've tried all the usual stuff: resetting RAM, testing hardware and even running it on both my 2 GB RAMS seperately. None of this solved the problem or gave me any clue what to look for.
I've also tried reinstalling Mac OS X but after a while of showing me the apple and the loading circle it just gives me an empty grey screen.
Has anyone had similar problems, or advice what to do next?

Haven't Updated in a while, but at some point I got the thought that it was some sort of monitor problem, so I tested my comp with an extra monitor connected. As it turns out, there are no problems whatsoever when I connect one. It doesn't freeze up! The monitor doesn't even have to be turned on!
Does anyone have enough knowledge of the technology/system to conclude what the problem with my Imac is?
Little piece of extra info: The color the screen turns when it freezes seems to be the color in the exact middle of the screen. (Example: Light purple from the default mac background)

Very slow applets on Safari 5 and 1.6.20 - works fine in Firefox

Hello,
Has anyone else noticed very slow applets in safari 5? I'm running 1.6.0_20 and trying run any of the applets at http://openprocessing.org results in VERY slow applet performance.
If i load the same applets in Firefox things run smoothly.
For example, load this one in both and see the difference:
http://openprocessing.org/visuals/?visualID=9151
The motion in Safari 5 is jerky and not fluid at all. But in firefox it runs nice and smooth. Even in Chrome it's jerky just like Safari.
I've tried both the 32/64 bit version settings and still the same result in Safari.
Thanks..

HI,
Open Java Preferences (Applications/Utilities) Select the Network tab
Click: Delete files
Relaunch Safari.
And empty the Safari cache from the Safari menu.
Could be the site itself. An HTML validator came up with errors.

Why would Fireworks suddenly freeze on launch after working fine?

I can't get past the welcome screen before the color wheel shows up and the program freezes. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, running disk first aid, etc.
Other programs like DreamWeaver launch fine, so this is very confusing.

Pogo website loads and displays but cannot open games; works fine on Internet Explorer.

For about two weeks now, have been unable to open games on the Pogo website; the main page opens but cannot open any games.
All works just fine on IE9.
No work on 8.0.1; installed 9.0.1---still no work as described above.

Surely, am not the only one who cannot load games on Pogo.com. . . .the website loads in but I get a "connection reset" type message each and every time I attempt to load any game. W7Pro 64-bit Dell Studio XPS i7core. Was properly working in F8 and then just stopped doing so; upped to F9 but still have same problem.
Ideas, anyone?
BTW, Pogo works just fine in IE9.

Google Chrome, Firefox, Skype can't connect to internet. While Safari and some other apps is working fine.

Can someone help? Please

Proxies can cause this kind of a problem.
System Preference > Network > Advanced > Proxies Tab
Under "Select Protocol", uncheck any box if selected.
Click "OK" then "Apply”.
