The K Desktop Environment

5.6. Java & Javascript

Hypermedia pages may contain dynamic content, such as Javascript or Java. You can (de)activate these modules in the Settings->Configure->Browser...->Advanced tab page.

Javascript is a small script language that add animation to html pages. Web site designer often use Javascript, so you should check this option unless you notice unstability because of it.

Java is a full featured language sometimes used on the web to provide embedded applets. You should check this option unless Konqueror crashes on Java applets. The "Show Java Console" option is useful for Java developers.

Note

You need a working Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to use Java in Konqueror: you can use the Sun JVM which is the standard one (see http://java.sun.com. for information and download) or Kaffe (http://www.kaffe.org) a virtual machine distributed under the terms of the General Public License.
