Java and iPad?..........no way!!!
Forget it, unless you are jailbreak.... (frash addon).

If you jail break to add flash, you will be sorely disappointed. There are many reasons to jb, but not to get flash.

However, you can try a few browsers, such as Puffin, and iSwifter and see, whether they so suit your needs.

iPad supports javascript, but not Java.

There are a multitude of stock ticker apps in the App Store. You might find something you like there.

There are some sites I visit that state I need to enable my Java Script to use.
How do I enable it on Safari?
These are job sites that open a link from emails.

CNBC RT will give you real time streaming quotes along with premarket and aftermarket real time quotes. However the charts are not real time.

With the understanding Safari on the iPad may not work 100% with every javascript site (though most seem to work fine) the settings to enable it are in Settings >> Safari.

There is a big difference between Java, and javascript. The first requires a Java interpreter/engine on you competitor. You are more or less downloading a small program and then running it on the computer. Java by it's nature is able to access (or try to access) system resources on the computer. Apple has a policy against that kind of thing for the iPad. It's a security risk they've decided not to take.

Javascript is a set of instructions that are written into the webpage itself, and run entirely in the browser. What it can do is limited to what the browser has access to do. Much more secure, but much more limited.

Java has nothing to do with flash. I'm a java developer.

It's easy for people to get confused with the iPad. It supports neither, and the Flash enabled browsers usually support Java too.

But you are right, it is unfair to lump Java with Flash. Java's future prospects are brighter than Flash's.

Yeah, I know. But java is not java script either. Safari supports java script. Java is for making applications that don't run in a web browser.

Flash is similar in it has two parts also. The flash plugin and the flash player that runs like an application in windows. I'm not sure if there is one for the Mac OS.
I don't expect most people to know the difference.

That clarifies things a bit, thanks for the explanation.
