IE6 or IE7 with JAVATC



Original poster: "Barton B. Anderson" <bartb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi All,

Recently, Gerry upgraded his Internet Explorer to IE7. When running JAVATC, he found the "script is taking to long" message to occur much more frequently than with IE6. There is a registry setting for Windows that can be edited to prevent this annoying script message.

Read this from Microsoft and follow their registry setting procedure.

I am using IE6 myself. I set my DWORD value to 100000000 (decimal). I ran the default program after and no script warning occurred. So this simple registry setting seems to work just fine.

Internet Explorer will default to 5 million iterations and after that number of iterations is reached, will then give the script warning. Simply add the MaxScriptStatements as the new DWORD and set it's value to 100000000 decimal.

The document from Microsoft explains how to do this.

But, here are my steps for reference.

1) Go to Start and click on "Run".
2) Type in the Run Dialog box "regedit".
3) Browse the folders to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/Styles. 4) Right-click on "Styles" and then mouse over "New" and then click on "DWORD Value". 5) Name the new DWORD as "MaxScriptStatements" (exactly and without the quotations).
6) Set the DWORD value to 100000000 (decimal).
6) Close the registry editor and restart your computer.
7) Test JAVATC. No script warnings should show up.

Hope this information comes in handy for those that use JAVATC.

Take care,
Bart
