Might be a badly-written script for the onmouseover event handler?

there is no omo just this
Code:
<asp:Button ID="btnSelectCourse" runat="server" CssClass="BlueButton" Text="Select" Width="71px" OnClick="btnSelectCourse_Click" Enabled="False" />

i meant Asp Button, my bad. ammended. FF don't have this issue at all.
 
you have IE 8.0 running at the moment ?
 
Nah, don't have it running, so can't really test. :p Just thought that a script might be causing the slowdown.
 
i know your problem necuno, its I.E 8 :P

post the css.. thou i doubt its that, what type of cpu jump do you get in firefox?
 
this only occurs when i have a temple comlumn in a grid with a check box added to it.

when i remove the checkbox from the temple column all speedy ie8.0 returns.

i think you might be correct, i do apply a custom css to the gridview

Code:
<asp:GridView ID="gvEmployees" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" class="Grid" GridLines="None">
    <Columns>
        <asp:BoundField DataField="EmployeeNumber" HeaderText="Number" />
        <asp:BoundField DataField="EmployeeFullName" HeaderText="Employee" />
[B]        <asp:TemplateField>
            <ItemTemplate>
                <asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox1" runat="server" />
            </ItemTemplate>
        </asp:TemplateField>[/B]
    </Columns>
<EditRowStyle CssClass="GridEditRow" />
<RowStyle CssClass="GridRow" />
<FooterStyle CssClass="GridFooter" />
<PagerStyle CssClass="GridPager" />
<SelectedRowStyle CssClass="GridSelectedRow" />
<HeaderStyle CssClass="GridHeader" />
<AlternatingRowStyle CssClass="GridAternatingRow" />
</asp:GridView>
Code:
.Grid td
{
	word-wrap: break-word;
	padding:4px;
	color:#333333;
}

.GridRow
{
	background-color:#F7F6F3;
	color:#333333
}

.GridFooter
{
	background-color:#5D7B9D;
	font-weight:bold;
	color:#FFFFFF
}

.GridPager
{
	background-color:#284775;
	color:#FFFFFF;
	text-align:center
}

.GridSelectedRow
{
	background-color:#E2DED6;
	font-weight:bold;
	color:#333333
}

.GridHeader th
{
    word-wrap: break-word;
	padding:3px;
	background-color:#5D7B9D;
	font-weight:bold;
	color:#FFFFFF;
	text-align:left
}

.GridEditRow
{
	background-color:#999999
}

.GridAlternatingRow
{
	background-color:White;
	color:#284775
}


:update
though when i remove all the css, its still slowish as soon as the checkbox is added.

That CSS doesn't look like it should break it.

That's the one thing I have about .NET Grids - they add a lot of bloated markup that can slow down the page. I steer as far away from them as possible. Mind you, I steer away as far from a grid-based layout as possible. I HATE data grids!

i ditched the thing for a CheckBoxList. comes down to the same thing i wanted to achieve, having employees and then doing checked those who will be saved/removed etc etc.

still this seems to be an exact ie8.0 behavior. i can only guess its to do with the added "dev tools"....

...removing the ****ing thing. back to ie7, since the issue don't replicate in ff.
 
I haven't even used IE8 yet and realized it's a load of cr@p. Just the mere fact that it tries to be standards compliant "by default" and has an emulation mode for older IE compatibility raises a bit of suspicion. All those extra layers just add bloat and makes browsing the web feel slow and laborious.

/end rant

well ie7 is running smooth.
 
My IE8 is screwing with me too. I get huge CPU spikes.. on websites. My Web Outlook hangs for 5 seconds while i type, and then contines... , hangs... continues. Never had this problem with IE 7.
 
Nope, IE8 works fine for be. ASP opens same time.
Maybe mine is used on a crack version on windows

and IE8 rocks:cool:

i guess its to do with the extra dev tools (press F12) they are nice, it got better when i disabled all the addons and accelorators, but still dragged its feet on a full blown developed page.

I love the new extra dev tool. I used IE Dev Toolbar to death. Looks like the dev IE Dev Toolbar into IE8.

I just would love a visual indication of how big the page is and the speed it took to download each include (like firebug)
 
Whenever I try to debug an asp.net application and IE8 has to load from scratch, it takes ages (about 20 seconds). If I use Chrome or Opera, they both load instantly.

WRT the dev toolbar - I miss the old one used in IE7. The built in java console in Chrome isn't too bad .
