Progress bar didn't stop in FireFox and Netscape

I've had the same problem in Firefox and Mozilla, using a
javascript/DHTML application based on the Itasca demo, with lots of
modifications. The progress bar looks active, the swirling browser icon
(in Firefox) keeps going around, and when you move the cursor over a
part of the browser other than the page, the cursor turns to the waiting
cursor. I haven't found the exact source of the error; I gave up a while
ago. Here's my application, if you're curious:

Hi Paul,

that's also true, but the problem seemed to be that the javascript code
which was used for the application was not cross-browser.

It used things like window.event, so IE specific JS code.

Best regards,
Bart
