IE 8 Java Applet Crashing

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are using IE 7 and currently we have upgraded to IE 8. But when trying the applications in IE 8, we are facing serious of problems like slowness, page crashing and Java applets crashing. The same pages is working weel on IE 7 but in IE 8 these pages and Java applets are crashing and showing script error as "Object doesn't support this method" for applets.

How to solve this? We dont have option to degrade the browser.

I have seen this happen when a target applets API is called but the applet hasn't been loaded yet. Are you making sure the all the applets are loaded before initiating any scripted dependancies?

I'm with Christian - the error message would indicate you are attempting to address the applet in javascript before it is created and available for scripting. The html body onload or script outside functions that calls either the getQueryObject() or getGridObject() methods.

The fact that it worked in IE7 but not in IE8 could mean that timing that worked before is no longer the case, as would also occur if internet speeds changed between client and server, or perhaps a different java plug in. Inconsistencies and pages that work in some cases but not others typically point at the javascript.

A test would be to isolate the suspect applet objects and put them individually on their own on a web page(s) to see if the new browser renders them properly.
