Javascript error: Max number of opened windows?

[flahan]

implementing an application that uses a popup window for the user to enter information and submit if appropriate, before continueing on with the main page in the application. After the application has run for a while (a bunch of window.open calls later) eventually a javascript error occurs saying the window variable doesn't have any properties.

Due to client needs we are using Netscape 4.7x. Has anyone run into this problem? If so, is there a work around, short of upgrading to a newer version?

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

There are serious JS problems in 4.74 and 4.78. I have been using 4.8 for a while, and the crashes are fewer, but not completely gone. Try running with JAVA disabled, and see if that helps (it frees up memory).

I've seen it go JS-brain-dead while I was developing pages. Sometimes closing NS and opening again would clear things, but other times I have to restart Windows.
