Hey guys. I'm having a very annoying problem that I can't seem to figure out. I don't know much about web design, but I think I'm having a problem with JavaScript. Go here to get a rundown of what happened and what a couple of people suggested.
Now, the reason I've came into this forum, and why I think it's Java, is because I was trying to help someone with some networking problems they were having the other day, and I saw these two script files on microsoft's site that were supposed to do some tests for you. I wanted to see what they actually did, so I ran these pages on my computer first. I am running Win2K, and I believe these pages were designed with ME in mind.
Anyway, I have been poring over countless help files looking for an answer to how to fix this. The easiest place for me to test it is microsoft's KB KB search page, because I have this page set as my home page, so I saved a copy of that page onto my local disk to try to figure out what was going on. I have DreamWeaver, and I tried to use the debugging tool for Java on my local copy of their page, but I wasn't able to get it to work right (it would freeze right along with IE).
So, if anyone wants to take a look at the scripts files I ran, they are here. This link goes to a directory where I placed these two scripts, in case there is code on those two pages that somehow affected my copy of IE. (I don't even know if this is possible) I have placed my system profile here.
After investigating and reading into Javascript a little bit, it seems like when I encounter a "onChange()" function, that is when IE slows down. I could be wrong. (I could be absolutely nowhere in the neighborhood of right, as a matter of fact.)
Finally, in reference to the cross-referenced article above, I did try logging on with another userid, and did not have the same problem, but his suggestion of deleting this user account is undesireable, as I would lose my SID and this would cause alot of problems with different networks that I help remotely administrate. If anyone here has any ideas as to why I'm getting this error, and more importantly, how to fix it, I would be very happy to hear any suggestions. Thanks in advance! <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">
