<<This appears to be a Java VM issue plus a little MS bonus.
Very interesting that even with Java DISABLED - IE still hangs!
Netscape runs fine with Java DISABLED - dies quickly with it enabled.>>
Actually, not a Java issue, but a Javascript issue--two separate things
which are independent of each other.
Also, the page doesn't seem to do anything whether Javascript is enabled
or disabled here--Windows XP, MSIE 6.0, Q312461 installed.
