IE6 blocks Javascript

[Wim]

A lot of sites are telling me that my browser (IE6 WinXPSP2) is blocking
javascript or is not IE6/7.
But it isn't set for blocking javascript and the most sites are working
fine.
What can be wrong?

Post the complete error messages and decide on what version of IE you're
using.

When I turn on 'display every script error' the most errors are:
Error in line... object expected code 0

IE 6.0.2900.2180

"Disable script debugging" - check this

"Display a notification about every script error" - uncheck this

Move on. The problem is on the pages, not your machine.

When I turn on 'display every script error' the most errors are:
Error in line... object expected code 0

IE 6.0.2900.2180

Go to Tools | Internet Options | Advanced.
Check the box to Disable script debugging.
Uncheck the box to Display a notification about every script error.

1. You might want to refresh your scripting engine:

2. Sometimes there's a corrupt file in the cache and one must go to Tools |
Internet Options and click Delete Files.

2a. Start | Run | Regsvr32 vbscript.dll

2b. Start | Run | Regsvr32 jscript.dll

3. Re-register all DLLs listed in http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=281679

5a. IE Tools>Internet Options>Advanced>Browsing>Enable third-party browser
extensions (uncheck & reboot).

5b. Find the hijacker that caused 5a to be checked (or if none were checked,
check for hijackware anyway):

That did the trick, thanks!
Thus, the sites where not to blame.
