Changing the JavaScript timeout value on Internet Explorer 8

Internet Explorer 8 keeps track of the number of JavaScript lines executed. After a fixed value, the browser issues an error message, prompting the user to decide whether he or she would like to continuing running the script. Because Studio is a rich Internet application that leverages JavaScript heavily in all components, it can trigger this error during normal usage.

Microsoft describes this issue in Knowledge Base Article 175500 and specifies a fix. More detail can be found in the Knowledge Base Article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/175500). The following is a condensed version of Microsoft’s fix for the Internet Explorer 8 issue.

Important: If you intend to run Studio on Internet Explorer 8, Endeca strongly recommends that you apply the fix outlined here.

To change the script timeout value:

Using a registry editor such as Regedt32.exe, open this key:
```
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Styles
```
Note: If the Styles key is not present, create a new key that is called Styles.
Create a new DWORD value called "MaxScriptStatements" under this key, and set the value to the desired number of script statements. You will have to try different values for your application environment, but the suggested starting point is a DWORD value of 0x1CFFFFF.

Note: You can turn off this Internet Explorer 8 feature using a DWORD value of 0xFFFFFFFF.
