Hi Galen,
Thanks for the suggestions. I will check my Advanced options settings when
I'm back at work tomorrow, to see if they work.
Re the script errors, I don't think it's a security settings issue, as often
if I click the option to view the page despite the error, it doesn't load
correctly and I have to close/reopen the browser, but again I will try your
suggestion.
Re the JRE, unfortunately at my work I am forced to use secure sites whose
security applet runs on Java, and this applet is rather picky about Java
version. It won't allow me to log in with earlier versions of Java (yes I'm
familiar with all the legacy downloads available through the Sun site). It
lets my customers and colleagues in with the latest Java Runtime, but my
system won't load many Java applets on other pages with this newest version
of Java in place. Right now it seems to run OK with the latest JRE installed
but unchecked in the Advanced options.
My current workaround for most of the little annoying problems is using
Firefox. I do use some sites that won't run with Firefox, but I've got an
extension that automatically switches sites that won't work with Firefox, to
IE.
Regards,
Catti
