Hangs IE7/8 with usage of this js library about css3-mediaqueries-js HOT 16 OPEN

Same issue here. Hangs in ie7/8 when i include it in my page.

also latest version

I'm having the same issue.  This locks up IE 7 and 8.  Latest version.

Same here. 

Locks up IE 7/8.

Using:
semantic grid system (semanticgs.org) (and therefore lesscss javascript 
compiler)
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
   <script src="http://html5shim.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>
<![endif]-->

Hopefully a resolution can be found, would be very useful. 

Same here. 

Locks up IE 7/8 (updated to latest).

using html5.js trunk
and 
css3-mediaqueries-js trunk

I had this issue too, the cause was a web font hosted on Google - it seems this 
script reloads all style sheets via ajax which caused IE to crash due to 
incorrect handling of a same origin policy security exception being raised.

Hangs in IE7/8 for me too. Only seeing the background image, and nothing else, 
although all content is accounted for in the source code. In source code, there 
is an attribute "checkedByCssHelper='true'" attached to every HTML tag.

If you are having this hanging problem, double check all of your stylesheets 
for any formatting issues.  I know a missing curly brace will cause the hanging.

I had this issue. Turns out there indeed was a curly brace missing. Not for the 
'main css' mind you, but for the @media query that surrounded my css. 
Embarrassed.

If you use LESS css, do not go beyond 2 levels of {} It will lock IE too.

Between Martin and Gene this seems to be the answer. 
Max 2 levels of { body { wrap }}
Do not forget to check for missing {}
Just one out of place or missing and IE 8,7,6 and 5.5 are broken. 
Like Martin I found my missing @media screen and (min-width:...)
Simple mistakes that are simple to correct.
Thanks all for posting your findings, it saved me time.

For me the solution was only to include this on the page that I needed it, the 
hang was happening on a page I didn't need to be responsive.

The page it happened on + the one it didn't, both used the same CSS file.

same here total lockup

Back from the dead... There is a new version of the script. It has some CSS 
parsing and processing improvements. If you're still using it, or would like to 
try again, could you confirm that this issue is solved or not?

I still have the problem in IE8 with the newest version of the script. The only 
way to get out of the hanging script is waiting for the "a script is taking 
long to run - do you want to stop it" dialog, or restart the browser, so it's 
almost impossible to profile where the problem happens. For now I've gone with 
a custom JS solution with a window.resize handler instead.

I was having this crash in IE8 and I found the reason was in my css inside a 
@media query i had

@-moz-document url-prefix() {
.page_title {

}
}

Removing that removed the crashing problem.
