There are two kinds of WordPress, and you need to be over at WordPress.ORG instead, as we don't use plugins at all here and can't help you.

"A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.

Script: http://www.handymanhowto.com/wp-content/plugins/syntaxhighlighter/syntaxhighlighter_mce.js?ver=3241-1141-syntaxhighlighter2.2.1:73

Stop Script Continue"

SyntaxHighlighter works fine in the single post that uses it.

The unresponsive script error happens when I'm editing a generic post that does not use the SyntaxHighlighter features and try to toggle to HTML mode. The only way to avoid it is to disable the SyntaxHighlighter plugin, do my editing, save the post and re-enable the plugin. If I click "Stop Script" the error message will reappear while it times outs in an endless cycle.

I use BlueHost.com to host my blog. Is there a way to isolate the area of the script that is causing the problem?

Thanks

I don't know what may have caused it. It's very annoying because whatever I edit is wiped out; I can't even edit the page to remove it from my blog until I've fixed the formatting.

I would have reponded to your advice sooner but I have been trying to get the Live Writer to work for me. I installed it. When I cut and past to the page where you do your editing on WLW and then hit the publish button, the info only goes into my blog post of my blog. It will not publish to the pages section of my blog. After I have posted and you look at what it posted the whole format of what I had turns into just lines of sentences. I know you are not a support person for WLW but I thought maybe you might something simple to fis this problem. I hope you could even understand my problem.

Here is my suggestion if you need tables in your blog. Download and install windows live writer on your computer. My understanding is that you can easily paste stuff directly into it from word or excel and it will actually create completely compliant HTML.

Windows Live Writer is a blog client, and it has a lot of great features and an incredible amount of control. You can create blog posts directly in it, complete with images or whatever, and then it will actually publish it directly to your blog. No need for copy and paste.

Copying and pasting from word will always get you in trouble, and I've spent far too many hours trying to help bloggers straighten out their blogs after they have copied and pasted from Word. It was for a while the most common issue here in the forums.

Download WLW and give it a try. It is free, and I SO wish there was a Mac version.

I do not know that pasting it in word removes all the spread problems. It probably does not. How could I copy the info from a spreadsheet to wordpress wihtout it messing up the system. I know that word and the spreadsheet Special paste options have different ways to paste. Do you know if any of those will work and if you do which one?

Does this only happen when you are trying to paste a spreadsheet?

When I click on (no) on the sign it goes back to attempt to paste. Eventually it will paste but sometimes I have had to hit yes and I loose everything I had put on the page.
