Did the typing in thing, opening in a new window and in a new page. No negative reactions so far.

My settings: Id as opera, no java, but javascript allowed and I work with zonealarm pro firewall which blocks java and activex. I'm behind a router, on XP and my java version is 1.4.2_06.

Emony? Maybe that helps for comparison purposes? Otherwise tell me your settings and I see if I can recreate it on mine.
