IE Slow for running JavaScript?

Hi,

I'm pretty new to JavaScript but I've just written the most complex script I've had to do (it's quite graphical). It's not particularly large (50KB including the images which load in the HEAD of the page) but IE seems to run considerably slower than netscape. Is this usual or am I a bad coder?

Thanks

Hmm....

Now it's uploaded from localhost onto the web server it seems to be working just about the same as in NS? Slightly confusing....

Must be my gay old PC...

just letting you know on your localhost the scripts SHOULD be instantanious because it doesn't have to go to the server and get parsed...

Don't quite understand what you mean... I thought JavaScript loaded into the browser when the page loads and then technically its all there.

I don't really see how it runs faster on localhost (apart from the transfer time). PHP definitely runs faster on localhost.
