I'm truly baffled with this one and should I not already shave my head, I'd be pulling my hair out!

I uploaded some new modules as well as some template files that I had been working on to my live site after testing everything on my test site. In addition, I imported some CCK and Views code as well.

Since doing so, when I access the block admin page at admin/build/blocks, it is much slower and I eventually get a "Unresponsive Script" warning which points to /misc/jquery.js?i:12 as the culprit and allows me to Continue or Stop the script. I get this while in FireFox 3.6 but I also have problems with IE, I just don't get the script warning.

The only script that I'm aware of that would be running on this page would be for the drag and drop of the block weights. This of course does not work.

I backed up my live site before making any changes but even after putting everything back the way it was, I still have this problem. I do happen to have a large number of blocks, probably 150+ which may or may not be a problem but it works fine on one server at the same host but not the other.

I just don't know what is happening and how to get around it. If anyone has an idea, I would love to hear it.

Thx.

This is not a big problem.
This is because there are too many items to "Jquery-fy". Turn of Java script executing(see browser options window) off and you'll see the wight select boxes and problem is solved.

As a solution, install Jquery Update module. I have few sites with many blocks and all of them have that module installed. I don't have the problem.
However, I don't know if Jquery Update module really does the trick but in my sites, problems are solved.

What's new and changing in PHP 8.4

Thanks for the reply. I assumed as much but everything was working fine prior to uploading a few new modules (jquery_update as one of them) and some template files. I was thinking that in my case, jquery_update may having been causing the problem rather than solving it.

The amount of blocks on my site has been the same for a while with no problems and I have the same site setup on another server at the same web host with all the new modules and templates and it works fine. The Blocks page comes up in a timely manner and I'm able to reorder the blocks and save them without issue.

Even after removing the new modules and other code and putting the database back to it's previous state, I continue to have the problem. I thought I would at least get back to my previous state before making any changes but to no avail.

I think I will try deleting many of the blocks as they are disabled and just turned on/off when needed. This will give me a better indication of whether it's the number of blocks that's causing my problem. If so, I will probably need some other method.

In case it helps anyone, updating the following modules (to latest recommended 6.x release) fixed this issue for me:

  • Drupal Tweaks
  • Boost
  • Floating Block
  • Simplemenu

I'm not sure which module exactly was the culprit. And important to note that the old site had the same versions of these modules, so it must be some sort of dependency on these modules that was causing the issue.
