What scripts is IE running?

Hello,

I have a problem where when I visit a particular web page, the CPU usage on
my computer jumps to 100%. I strongly suspect that there are some scripts
being run which cause this to happen (when I disable scripting, the problem
goes away). Is there a way I can figure out which script in particular is
the culprit, and can I disable this particular script from running? (Even if
I can't, I can at least inform the webmaster of this problematic script.

Thanks,
 
You can view the page source code, if you think that might help.

Or you could open Task Manager and see which process is taking up the
CPU's time.

Or you can check the settings in your security software to see if it is
set to block particular scripts.
 
Hello Ted.

The page source code shows that there are several scripts, but I don't know
which one is the culprit, or if indeed they are calling other scripts, one
of which might be the culprit.

All the Task Manager shows me is IEXPLORE.EXE using 100% CPU.

My firewall won't let me block scripts. :(

Any other ideas?

First if it runing or coded on the webage, you can't do what you
want for
simple reason, you don't have control on it, it is not local (on
your
computer) to you, it is on the server and when you visit this Site
you
provoke the Script (s).

Server-side scripts do NOT consume any of the local CPU. They are
*server*-side scripts so the CPU at the *server* is used to process
them. At most, the user ends up having to wait until the script
finishes on the server. Javascript and Java applets run on the
client's host, and those you do control (to either block or even to
edit the delivered page to alter the script or code to run a local
copy).
