Add this default style hanging in preview on local computer/

markwalker Apr 16, 2012 05:40AM EDT

For some time now when adding the basic 32X32 sharing button, when previewing website on local computer (not localhost) the buttons will not load and hangs in all browsers until text is visable. This is causing me to have to remove the code completely as I preview and then reinsert before uploading to my server. I see no conflicts in either my doctype or my javascripts I have already running.

This is basic HTML websites, once uploaded they work as expected but is extremely time consuming, any help would be appreciated with this.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

Sharing Code:
<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_32x32_style">
<a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_compact"></a>
<a class="addthis_counter addthis_bubble_style"></a>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#pubid=markwalker"></script>
<!-- AddThis Button END -->

Also by "text is visable" no buttons appear, just text. Again when uploaded to server, they work as expected no hanging issues. When I say hanging, it's almost 3 minutes on average. Since these are set in a div I cannot tell if it's aligning properly to cause the next div to rise or drop. Again, if anyone see's this problem please expand on a fix, I really find Add This to be a major success for all my websites.

I have the same problem i.e. hangs everything for a couple minutes.
It used to work until recently, so seems to be a change in the AddThis code.

This is a show stopper for us, as it means I cannot preview changes to web pages without actually publishing them! Maybe we will have to swap over to use ShareThis instead.
