"ActiveX" in IE is generally any sort of embedded dynamic code - though this isn't the official meaning. This covers JavaScript (JS) and IE does have various levels of security depending on the location of the document you are trying to read. Local files are subjected to quite a strict policy (hence the ActiveX warning and JS being off) which is to help prevent against malicious attacks.

There is definitely some sort of combination on the devices you are using that appear to be causing you the issues; do you have a particular Anti-Virus running? Sometimes these can interfere with run-time events.

The weird part is that you left your PC for a while, with the page still loaded and came back to it working. That almost sounds like some sort of network transmission issue where the browser loads the structure (HTML) and styling (CSS) but struggles to load the JS. I assume your internet connection is generally stable?

The main.js file is fairly large (238KB - for comparison I have handwritten files that are 1750~ lines of code at around 50KB) but that is what you tend to get with these sorts of systems. Could be taking the system some time to parse it, especially since it is compressed before transfer... though having said that my network logs show that it gets processed pretty quickly from the CDN (24ms using a Private Window) - compare that to 300ms+ for the likes of custom.js at 82KB

Apologies... I'm rambling a bit here, just trying to talk the whole thing through with myself essentially and see if I can think of something specific. These online editors are useful for those who want to build their own website but have no programming knowledge, but they sure are inefficient...



One more quick note; those thumbnails are controlled by... wait for it... JAVASCRIPT  :lol
