I'm relatively new to TW and love it. But...

I noticed that when I view one of my tiddlers (specifically my To Do)
the progress bar of Firefox starts going crazy saying that it is
waiting for c.statcounter.com. It stops while in edit mode or when the
tiddler is closed.This seems strange to me. Is it normal or have I
done something to make this happen. It seems to only happen when that
particular Tiddler is open.
Below is the code for the tiddler.
----start----

Title: To Do

Also...
I just noticed that it only does this activity when the "slide >>"
option is active.
I am using the tag [[Investigate]] on some of my tiddlers which then
has the tag [[To Do]] so that they appear at the bottom of my
To Do tiddler as a list of stuff to investigate that I haven't had
time to yet.
These are items that some have links and one has an IFrame that links
to the TW.org website.
Another has an IFrame that links to Tiddlysnip.
---
UPDATE***
I just removed any tagging on the tiddler that contains the IFrame
link to Tiddlysnip and that seems to have cured it.
Though when I am in the Tiddler that I have made for Tiddlysnip
website the activity doesn't happen.

So now I know what was causing it.... I just don't know why and was it
bad.... other than it was annoying to see the progress bar being hyper-
active.

Sorry for the self diagnosis while asking the question. But perhaps
someone might be able to tell me what was going on.

I saw something similar when I used TWs based on the TWT -TreeView-
Notes package........using the search function I found that a bit of
code at the bottom of MarkupPostBody tiddler that was doing it. As I
understand it, its a counter that lets the originator of the code know
how many times (and who ?) is using the work. Since I am not on a
super fast conection...I found it delayed things at times...so I
deleted the code (not the whole Markup Post Body...just the
statcounter!) .....hope I haven´t broken some important internet/TW
ethic in doing so!!!

hi,

statcounter seems to be a web tracking service. Normaly they include a
code snipet somewhere in the html file, to get some visitor infos. May
be yours is broken / only partly loaded in your tw.

1)
Which TiddlyWiki did you use as your starting point?

2)
Check your tiddlers

MarkupPostBody
MarkupPreBody
MarkupPostHead
MarkupPreHead

They ara all default shadowtiddlers. look at: Sidebar: More: Shad
if one of them contains any code that points to c.stat..... rename the
tiddler, save and relod.

3)
If this doesn't help. have a look at your PageTemplate, ViewTemplate
if it references c.stat..... somewhere, and let us know.

regards mario

I am using MPTW 2.5.3

They all checked out fine. Empty, in fact, except for MarkupPreHead, I
believe that had some RSS info... which I might want to delete since I
don't understand why I would want an rss feed of my personal wiki...
perhaps a topic for another discussion

Nothing funny in the PageTemplate or the ViewTemplate.
I did however look at the source code for the TiddlySnip website and
there is statcounter code there.
Removing the tags on the TiddlySnip IFrame tiddler makes it all stop.
And this only happens in MPTW as far as I can tell now.
It must be something to do with TagglyTagging and the way it deals
with keeping the 'Tagged as:' list up to date.
Here is a blank MPTW with the 2 tiddlers that make it happen.

Hi Slugore

The TiddlySnip page is a TiddlyWiki with the c.statcounter code in the
MarkupPrehead tiddler:
On line 7125 it says:
<div tiddler="MarkupPostBody" modifier="Saq" modified="200701191537"
created="200701191537" tags="">&lt;!-- Start of StatCounter Code --&gt;
\n&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;
language=&quot;javascript&quot;&gt;\nvar sc_project=2204716; \nvar
sc_invisible=1; \nvar sc_partition=20; \nvar sc_security=&quot;
0bf4fa48&quot;; \n&lt;/script&gt;\n\n&lt;script type=&quot;text/
javascript&quot; language=&quot;javascript&quot; src=&quot;http://
www.statcounter.com/counter/counter.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;noscript&gt;&lt;a
href=&quot;http://www.statcounter.com/&quot;
target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://
c21.statcounter.com/counter.php?
sc_project=2204716&amp;java=0&amp;security=0bf4fa48&amp;invisible=1&quot;
alt=&quot;counter&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/
noscript&gt;\n&lt;!-- End of StatCounter Code --&gt;</div>

The Diagnose minitag in the "Demonstration of the c.statcounter.com
activity" tiddler seems to trigger the iframe-tiddler causing the
c.statcountercode to be invoked...

Typo...

Should have been MarkupPostBody - as it says in the code...

That's interesting.
I'm using FF 3.6.3 on Vista machine.
I'll have to check it on a Linux machine later.
