Page doesn't fully load

[tshall]

I recently switched to satellite from dial-up. The satellite people are local and apparently haven't been at it a long time. They have an informational web page and I can load part of it, but part of it is simply white where they say should be information written in java script. Looks like in my tools/options/advanced I've got java turned on. I'm more curious than anything else, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Do you have any anti-virus software set up to block java scripting? It'll override the internet options.

Thank you for the reply, I do have Norton. Is that under options, script blocking perhaps? I did think about that and removed script blocking, but it didn't help.

Only other thing I can think of is if you have it disabled in security settings. Same place... tools, options, but this time go to security.

It could also be the code. Poorly written javascipt will give you errors like that. What is the link to the page? It is always good to get others to test. Since these guys are new to Satellite, they may be new to Javascript. Actually why would anyone put something like this in JS is beyond me.

Thanks mairving, the address is getthewave.com. The two boxes on the left side are whited out on my computer and so is the upper portion, have no idea what's supposed to be there. Thanks.

That's not javascript, that's full Java, it's loading applets. Is your browser Java-enabled?

[mairving]

It would make me wonder about them. Designing a site that looks like that in FP and with a Java/ASP combo no less. It loaded fine for me using IE6 with Java enabled.

Thank you guys for replying. I have Jit checked, do I need to check them all? Thanks in advance.

I think we would need to know what browser you're using to answer that.

As an aside, it's important to understand that JavaScript and Java are two very completely different things.

JavaScript is a browser-based script that (hopefully) works within an html (web) document. It is usually fairly 'light', meaning that it runs on your computer quickly. (ahem, assuming that it has no errors, but that's another post...)

Java is a fully object-oriented programming language which can stand alone just like c++. The java 'applets' have little to do with the html page it appears to be in. Because it does not run in the browser itself, Java requires a 'java runtime engine' to work inside a browser (similar to a plug-in) and is often very 'heavy', meaning that if you're on a dial-up modem, good luck.
