Since i am taking java in school, i am working on a java applet that will allow users to submit problems with the server and downtimes.
Hopefully i will be done soon.

Pfft java, learn php boy, I'm almost positive it would take a hell of alot less work.

and java causes my comp to lag extremly, if i open up a application that uses java my computer goes wicked for one minute and then it starts to respond again, but realy slow.
So please, no java.

Thats not normal...either you have a rather old computer or something is wrong.

To my java is something like that too but it takes much faster but it's to slow too till java applet starts.

I don't even have Java installed. Why force users to that thing? It's bad. Learn PHP and/or some other CGI language. =)

Yes, it is. Even on my old P1 233 MHz it got my system to lag extremely.

I can't say I've heard of systems stalling temporarily or coming close to it when loading the JavaVM (your P1 233 doesn't count, you can't expect brilliant response times with software created for todays newer PCs), I find it common to have the browser "Stop Responding" for periods of time but not the system as a whole :\

Yes, it has frozen my browser for up to a minute, not my whole system. But the rest of my system became a bit laggy. I don't see any reason for using Java on PN, since it's not necessary. You get the same, but make life harder for users of old PCs. I used to just ignore sites that used Java.

I do that quite a bit with flash websites, I find that a great deal of website which have shockware and/or flash used do it very badly and really irritate me. Occasionally its alright though.

i need to figure out how to hold the report file on the server, since java runs on the client's machine....

I removed the Flash plugin from my browser. I think, I'll remove Java as well.

been awhile since i did any java but if i remebmer java applets could only talk back to the server they were loded from.
