View Full Version : Clipper Hangs on "Parsing CSS..."

Whenever I try to use the Clipper from Internet Explorer (v6 SP-1) on a web site that has Cascading Style Sheets, it hangs while showing the message "Parsing CSS". I'm using Windows ME on the computer that has the trouble. It works fine on my laptop (XP) and my work computer (win 2000).

Also, if I cut and paste the URL into iSiloX, it converts the sites without problems. However, I prefer to use the Clipper when I'm browsing and want to convert one page.

Is this a known problem with some computers, and is there a work-around??

Thanks!

There have been no similar problems reported.

Does it happen with only certain URLs?

The iSilo manual also uses CSS. Could you try with it and see whether it also hangs? The URL is http://www.iSilo.com/support/manual/iSilo/iSiloManual.htm.

Thanks for your response...

I tried to convert the iSilo manual using the Clipper, and
it also "hangs". It seems to do it for any web page with
a cascading style sheet.

Actually it doesn't crash or anything like that, it just gets
stuck. When I finally hit the Cancel button, it quits a
few seconds later, saying "Conversion Successful", though
without the size of the file, since it didn't really succeed.

I have attached a picture of the conversion window when
it's "stuck".

Thanks for your help.
