Rebol/ View dll do-browser crashing browser

Hi, I was adapting Kevin Adams search2.r to be a searchbar in explorer, pretty much I just went through and replaced browse/only with do-browser some extra joins, it works only, not very often, about 70% of the time it crashes the browser, if the browser opens with the searchbar window open it crashes as well basically if the searchbar crashes the browser once, it will restart about 3-4 times before it stops crashing. I sort of find that annoying. now it was completely fine before I added in do-browser, only then of course every time I did a search and clicked on the button it opened a new browser instance. So I assume it has to be do-browser, only as one can see from the code here do-browser is also called by buttons being pushed: about: layout [ backdrop 219.219.219 h1 "Search Center" 28.52.86 text "Version 1.2.0" text "written by Kevin Adams, [kadams--netlane--com]" button "okay" [unview] 70x20 effect [gradient 0.0.0] ] win1: layout/size [ backdrop 219.219.219 h1 "Search Center" 28.52.86 guide pad 20 button "Section One" [panels/pane: panel1 show panels] 85x20 effect [gradient 0.0.0] button "Section Two" [panels/pane: panel2 show panels] 85x20 effect [gradient 0.0.0] button "About" [view/new center-face about] 85x20 effect [gradient 0.0.0] button "Quit" [quit] 85x20 effect [gradient 0.0.0] return box 2x270 28.52.86 return panels: box 180x280 ] 350x350 panel1: layout [ backdrop 219.219.219 across h2 "Dictionary Search" 28.52.86 return word_to_lookup2: field 120 [ ] button "Go" 30 effect [gradient 0.0.0] [ do-browser join "go('" join [http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary "? book=dictionary&va=" word_to_lookup2/text] "')" ] return h2 "Google Search" 28.52.86 return word_to_lookup3: field 120 [ ] button "Go" 30 effect [gradient 0.0.0] [ do-browser join "go('" join ["http://www.google.com/search?q=" word_to_lookup3/text "&btnG=Google+Search"] " ')" ] return h2 "Yahoo Search" 28.52.86 return word_to_lookup6: field 120 [ ] button "Go" 30 effect [gradient 0.0.0] [ do-browser join "go('" join ["http://search.yahoo.com/bin/search?p=" word_to_lookup6/text ] "')" ] return h2 "Slashdot Search" 28.52.86 return word_to_lookup1: field 120 [ ] button "Go" 30 effect [gradient 0.0.0] [ do-browser join "go('" join ["http://slashdot.org/search.pl? query="word_to_lookup1/text ] "')" ] ] panel2: layout [ backdrop 219.219.219 across return h2 "Image Search" 28.52.86 return word_to_lookup4: field 120 [ ] button "Go" 30 effect [gradient 0.0.0] [ do-browser join "go('" join ["http://images.google.com/images?num=20&q=" word_to_lookup4/text &btnG=Google+Search ] "')" ] return h2 "Usenet Search" 28.52.86 return word_to_lookup5: field 120 [ ] button "Go" 30 effect [gradient 0.0.0] [ do-browser join "go('" join ["http://groups.google.com/groups?q=" word_to_lookup5/text "&hl=&btnG=Google+Search ] ')" ] return h2 "eBay Search" 28.52.86 return word_to_lookup7: field 120 [ ] button "Go" 30 effect [gradient 0.0.0] [ do-browser join "go('" join ["http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?

Any ideas? suggestions?

Hello! Two questions: 1) Do you have the evaluate function in your HTML page code? 2) Why are you replacing browser with do-browser? browse still works great for launching the web browser. Josh

Yes I do have the evaluate function. I was replacing browse with do-browser so that I could pass up code to the html page to load the page in the _main browser window. The search bar, which you see when you click on the search button on your browsers chrome, is in a window named _search, so if you want to open a page in the main window that called the search window you have to have the following: window.open(url,"_main"); anyway I really don't understand how do- browser should be affecting this, I mean that do-browser should only be called when I click on a button in the rebol view form. yet nonetheless if I start that page I get the errors outlined on loading the page, yet as also noted these errors are not 100% of the time, but around 70%. The most logical thing would be a memory leak somewhere, but my system doesn't seem to be using any excessive resources.
