I don't use Konquerer, but I had a simalar problem with Mozilla. My wife visits pogo.com and she had the same problem you are. I was using java 1.4.2_04 (sun). I upgrade to java 1.4.2_05 and it worked. Is there a newer version of blackdown? if so that might be you option. There seems to be a issue with the newer version of KDE and your version of java. Other wise you might try swithing to mozilla or switch back to the previous version of KDE. Just a thought Good luck!
