The Joys Of Internet Explorer

Next episode: the one hundred million line javascript:

Error

Somehow, I don’t think that I have 191.057.020 (that’s one hundred ninety one million fifty seven thousand and twenty) lines of javascript code in this project. That, or IE’s javascript parser is incredibly quick.

Something’s fishy, because I get a different number of lines when reloading the page:

Error (2)

After that, I get 191057020 again, and then 191843452. And so they keep alternating (I’ve tried up to 7 times). 

Of course, all those millions of lines could be empty lines. That might explain the quick parsing. No way to tell for sure, though: if I open the offending line in a debugger, I get the first line of my page (which is HTML) as the problem line. Not really helpful.

Meh, no other way than to search for it, I guess.
