The Netscape and Java problem is quite prevalent and well documented.
There are apparently "tweaks" but I've not heard anyone report that
these supposed "tweaks" work. I'm currently having a preview of Netsape
6.0 Pre-Release, however it has absolutely NO Java support (or
JavaScript) at all even though the options exist.
Nonetheless if the Java is NS 6.0 doesn't crash I can see that it
renders pages quickly, much more sensibly and faster. I have an
extraordinarily slow ISP. Downloading images on pages with NS 4.7 is
quite tedious because Netscape tries to work out the page layout BEFORE
displaying the page. This means that if someone (!) has forgotten to add
sizes to images or any other myriad of reasons, I have to wait a million
years for the page to display.
NS 6.0 appears to display much more like Internet Explorer. That is to
say it starts drawing straight away, and if it gets it wrong it redraws
from a cache it must keep. This isn't a problem to me because my
computer system is way too powerful for what I do with it...
Anyway,
