Hi Silver

Javascripts don't work in my computer. I don't get any error
messages, but links with javascripts don't work, websites are not
displayed correctly...

I have Netscape 7, Internet Explorer 6 and I recently installed
Mozilla and all of them have the same problems with websites with
javascripts. I just can't fugure out what to do. Can somebody please
help me?

There can be a few things that can cause this problem. You did not mention
which version of Windows you have, but, here are a few suggestions that will
get you started.

Java (Java Script) Not Working - Check If Java Is Working

Try the following and see if it helps resolve the problem.

Download the latest Java plugin from here:
http://www.java.com/en/download/windows_automatic.jsp

or.....

Script Debugging Problem

Open IE
Tools | Advanced
Under Browings:
Disable Script Debugging - Check it
Display a notification about every script error - Uncheck it
Apply
OK

or........................

(Understand that because of a court decision Microsoft will stop all Java
support after 30 SEP 04 and is recommending that you use the Sun JRE.)

You can test whether Java is working on your machine at the
following sites:

http://www.pocoso.de/pocoso052.html
http://www.clan.lib.ri.us/clan/javatest.html
http://www.fitwise.com/testjava.asp (both 1.0 and 1.1 and what's installed)

There is good information concerning all aspects of the Java situation here:
http://www.javatester.org/installing.html

Be aware, however, that after Dec 31, 2007, MS will apparently no longer be
distributing Java or providing any support for Java including security
fixes. See here: http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/java/ so you might want
to start thinking about the future.

You can get the Sun Java J2SE RunTimes or SDK here:
http://java.sun.com/downloads/index.html (all versions - select using the
dropdown)

Sun also offers an automatic download and install of the 1.4 Java plug-in
here: http://java.sun.com/getjava/download.html

For the MS Java VM, you may need to install v.3805 or v.3809 prior to
upgrading to v. 3810 if you didn't previous have MS Java v. 3805 or 3809
installed.

If your OS is Win2000 SP2, SP3 but NOT SP4 then you can download and install
the MS Java VM v. 3809 from here:
http://download.windowsupdate.com/m..._510A502BA8F9B6F19230BB2BCCE87D5474AC9DCD.exe
or here:
http://www.biologylab.awlonline.com...icrosoft.Q810030_W2K_SP4_5849/Q810030_W2K.exe

For Win2000 SP4, you'll need to re-install v.3805, from here:
http://www.download.support.safetec.net/msjavx86/msjavx86.exe
http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/msjavx86.exe

For all other OS's:

Download and install the MS Java VM v. 3809 from one of the links here:
http://ftp.idilis.ro/windows/sp/jvm98/msjavwu.exe, or here:
http://secinfo.huji.ac.il/patches/Win-xp/msjavwu.exe

Then upgrade to v. 3810:

For all OS's except Win2kSP4 obtain v. 3810 here:
http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail.php3?fid=1050022631 ,or here:
http://download.windowsupdate.com/m...l/MSJavWU_8073687b82d41db93f4c2a04af2b34d.exe

For Win2k - SP2, SP3 - you can also obtain v. 3810 from Microsoft here:
http://download.microsoft.com/downl...-9b18-423356321682/Q816093_W2K_SP4_X86_EN.exe

For Win2kSP4, to get 3810 from Microsoft you now have to get Q816093 from
Windows Update Catalog - use the entry for Windows 2000 SP4 (this seems to
be the only Win2k option that has it) and then find 816093 in the list. You
can find directions for using the Windows Update Catalog functions here:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;323166. (I am
informed by Torgeir Bakken, MVP, that if you rename the downloaded file from
here: http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail.php3?fid=1050022631 to
msjavwu.exe it will then also work for SP4.)

Both Java VM's can co-exist on your machine quite nicely. Just select which
one you want to use in Tools|Internet Options|Advanced and restart all IE
browsers. Here, courtesy of Michel Gallant, MVP Security, is a tiny utility
which allows you to toggle and view status of your current
Java VM vendor associated with IE:
http://www.jensign.com/JavaScience/SelectIEJVM/index.html

A note from Mitch Gallant:

"One note about the JVM Selector utility: If/when you install a new
version of Sun J2SE, you need to manually
select to have Sun JVM as default JVM for IE (in install), or after install
via the JavaPlugin control panel. This generates the necessary win32
registry entries, which must be present for the utility to know about
JavaPlugin. After that, the utility should work properly."

I have been having some problems with my java script
also. I have read several posts and done every thing, but
Im still having some problems. I d/l Microsoft Windows
Script 5.6 and JVM. I have all my java enabled in the
security settings. I went to each link you suggested and
EVERY link worked and said that my java was enabled and
working. However some sites such as www.adultswim.com,
www.cartoonnetwork.com, www.mmorgp.com, and others still
do not work properly. I also went to www.candystand.com
to play some mini golf, but when I try to load the game I
get this msg "We have detected that you do not have
javascript enabled. In order to play games on this site,
you must enable javascript."

I am at a complete loss. Any help would be greatly
appreciated. Like I said I tried those links and those
sites said my java was working/enabled, so it seems some
sites work and others dont :/

Thank in advance, Hunter G.

Try the following and see if it helps:

Do you have the JavaScript plug-in installed?
http://java.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=9567

Also, if you have a pop-up blocker, try disabling it and see if it makes any
difference. Sometimes that will cause a problem with some sites.

In addition, sometimes the problem will be with the site itself. However,
if it was working previously, then it is obviously that is not the case.


If these steps do not resolve your problem, please post back to this thread
with the details and any error messages.


Hope this helps

I do have the most current JavaScript plug-in installed.
And I do not have a popup blocker. I turned the popup
block option off on both IE and Firefox, but this didnt
help either.

The only error msg I get is at candystand.com saying that
I dont have java enabled, even though java works on other
pages. The sites such as cartoonnetwork.com and
adultswim.com used to load properly untill about a month
or so ago. On these sites I do not get an error msg, but
just a blank area where there should be a picture or
whatever. I can see the outline, but nothing is displayed
in the box.

I would say 97% of all the sites I go to load properly
but some just wont. I guess its not that big of a
problem, but it would be nice to get it resolved. Thanks
for the help Jan

Well...let's not give up so soon..'k? There is a reason that these
sites won't work, and I bet it is just a matter or narrowing down the cause.
So..try the following and see what it gets ya. Let us know what happens,
any errors, what they say. Just disregard anything that does not apply to
you, such as the McAfee part if you don't have it, etc.


Active x Errors and Settings

For best security set Active X settings to:

My settings are for Active X are:
Prompt
Disable
Disable
Prompt
Prompt

ActiveX Error Message

ActiveX problems in IE
http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/answers3.htm#activex

See: "Various Registry Fixes."
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm

or............

If you have McAfee:

Disable the McAfee ActiveX controls Applet filters in the Internet Filter
window when you select Customize your VShield settings

Follow the information here to check for malware on your system that could
also cause a problem, Start with Ad-aware, Spybot, CWShredder
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm

Active X error while running windows update

"Your current security settings prohibit running Active X
controls on this page. As a result pages may not display
correctly."

Check for bogus files in Active X Controls

Courtesy of Jim Byrd

You can check the following concerning ActiveX components trying to reach
defunct servers. If these particular ones don't show up, check for any
other anomalous entries:

Take a look in %SYSTEMDRIVE%\%SystemRoot%\Downloaded Program Files (these
are ActiveX components), and see if you have something there called Tracker
Class. If so, right click and click Remove (don't just delete it). This is
a hi-jack program that's trying to reach a server that's no longer working,
so it hangs up.

There are some others that are similar in effect also, so if you don't have
Tracker Class, right click on each thing in this folder then select
Properties. The Codebase line will often give you a clue as to where
something came from. If it looks like it might not belong, try Remove.
Things like Sun Java Runtimes and Macromedia stuff like Shockwave or Apple
Quicktime are normal, so use some judgment about what you eliminate.
Mostly you'll be asked to re-download them if you Remove something that's
actually needed.

Also check in Add-Remove Programs for Surfchoice 1.1 and remove it. It is
also tracker software to a defunct server.

Additional important information about removing ActiveX controls is in the
following Microsoft articles:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q240797
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q154850

then....

Third Party Browser Extensions

Tools>Internet Options>Advanced tab>under Browsing>near the bottom of that
list see Enable third party browser extensions (requires restart), if it is
checked, uncheck it...if unchecked, check it (to see if the change will
help).


Hope this helps

The only error msg I get is at candystand.com saying that

I don't see any Java on that site's Home page.
However, there is Shockwave Flash there.
Is that the problem?

Try looking at their Help page? There is a FAQ about the SWF plugin
there.
