I'm hoping some of you beautifully talented webdesigners can help me with what I'm assuming is a setting in IE.

The problem I'm having is that everytime I click on a link to a webpage that contains any java it takes for ever for the page to appear. Sometime IE locks up completely.

I'm using an cable connection. So my connection speed shouldn't be the issue. Any ideas?

— slow page loads that only happen when a page contains Java applets are best handled by isolating the Java plugin from the browser and collecting a little evidence. and pointed toward the browser vs. plugin question; the checklist below takes that further and shows how to gather the exact clues you need to fix the root cause rather than guessing.

  • Confirm the page actually uses a Java applet (view source for <applet>, <object> or .jar references).
  • Enable the Java Console and tracing (Control Panel -> Java -> Advanced -> Show Console; enable tracing/logging). Reproduce the slow load and watch the console for long waits or messages containing Connecting, Downloading, CRL, OCSP or exceptions.
  • Clear the Java cache (Control Panel -> Java -> General -> Temporary Internet Files -> Settings -> Delete Files) and try again.
  • Run Internet Explorer without add-ons (iexplore.exe -extoff) to see whether a toolbar/plugin is stalling the load.
  • Monitor Task Manager for java.exe or plugin processes and for high CPU/disk activity while the page loads.
  • Temporarily turn off real-time web scanning in antivirus/firewall as a diagnostic; some scanners intercept plugin downloads and introduce large delays.
  • If console output shows certificate-revocation or network timeouts, test briefly by disabling IE’s certificate-revocation checks to confirm cause, then re-enable them immediately (do not leave these checks off).

Collect the Java Console output and the exact applet tag or URL that reproduces the problem. That evidence will tell whether the hang is a browser/add-on interaction, a network timeout (large JARs or CRL/OCSP checks), or the Java plugin itself, and will point to the minimal, safe fix.

You should post this in the Java forum, if you really mean "Java". It could be that you need to install the latest version of the Java Virtual Machine. If you mean "JavaScript", then check your security settings under Internet Options, to see if you have enabled JavaScript or not.

If you still have problems, then perhaps the best forum for configuration advice would be the "Web Browsers" forum: http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/forum29.html

THIS forum, deals with developing/programming web pages.

Try another browser like Netscape or Mozilla and see what happens.
