A book that refuses to export

[Robert Stevenson]

Fact is, it exports without any problem but once exported I have never been
able to complete it without is freezing. Runs through all the pre-export
validation and AE script validation ... runs great at native. Just curious
if I post the page script for the quiz if anyone might be able to give it a
quick scan just to see if there is something that jumps out as a failure in
logic severe enough to cause the freezing. Three days of export and re-
export ... no success yet.

My question would be:
When does it freeze? When the page loads, or when the Question object is
attempted?

It may that the question type you are using, the "on question answered"
event is firing so often it is creating a type of loop which would
appear to freeze the browser. To verify whether this may be the case add
an alert action to the on question answered event and see how often it
attempts to fire. If the alert displays every time you try and click on
something or move the mouse, then you will need to reconsider some of
the placement of your action logic.

On the other hand, if it freezes when the page loads, then there is some
kind of error condition. FireFox with the webdeveloper extension can
often catch the error if there is no other alerts. Sometimes the
webdeveloper extension can even identify the place in the code, but it
usually helps you isolate the logic that is causing the stumbling block.

Also, you may be able to see errors in IE if you set "display an alert
for every script error" to on. Not a good idea for regular usage, but
sometimes useful for debugging a project.

No actual error message ... simply the page refuses to fully load all the
objects on the page. Once I get rid of my last classes for the day I'll
try some of your suggestions. Thanks.
