JavaScript disabled in only a few web pages

[Sherri]

On a few web pages (including one that I created), I get
the error:
Sorry, your browser doesn't support Java(tm).

I'm running IE 6.x, and have not disabled any
JavaScripting. I went to the Troubleshooting area for
IE, and got this message:
*********************************
If you cannot view a Web site that contains Java
programs, but can view other Web sites that contain Java
programs, follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Click Start, click Run, type control inetcpl.cpl, and
then click OK.
....For Internet Explorer 4.x, 5.x, and 6, on the Advanced
tab, click to clear the JIT Compiler for virtual machine
enabled (requires restart) check box, and then click OK.
Restart Internet Explorer and then visit the Web site
that exhibited the problem, and test to determine whether
the issue has been resolved.
*************************
Problem is when I do this, I don't have a "JIT Compiler
for virtual machine enabled (requires restart)" in the
choices.

WHAT CAN I DO? This is very frustrating. Thanks for any
help anyone can give.

JAVA is nothing to do with JavaScript.

They look "A bit similar" but Java is a proprietary language that can be
used for stand alone programming, and you Java machine is missing.


Simplest way might be www.java.sun.com and download their machine.... fairly
trouble free and minimal messing about.

Also http://pages.istar.ca/~neutron/SelectIEJVM/ will allow you to swap
between the Sun machine and the Microsoft machine if you decide to find a
copy of theirs.

The problem is that I put a JavaScript that flips through
pictures on my web page. It worked just fine until I
downloaded IE updates. Now I get the error
message "Sorry, your browser doesn't support Java(tm)"
and the pictures don't show. They show on other
computers, so I know the JavaScript is working on the
page, just not showing up on my computer.

I need a fix for this. I went into the Sun page and am
not sure what you mean by "their machine." I have a
feeling that downloading the IE updates did something to
now allow me to see the JavaScript, but it's just on that
one page, and a couple of others that I have tried to
access. I can see the JavaScripts on all the other pages
on the internet that I've accessed.

Please help. Thank you!!

The answer is still the same. If the error message says it doesn't support
Java then there is something wrong with the "Java Virtual Machine", which
allows little programs called "Applets" to run on different machines (so
they'll also work on a MAC for example).

There is an easier link to the sun Java machine
http://www.java.com/en/download/windows_automatic.jsp ... it will
automatically start which is why I don't really like posting direct links in
newsgroups.

You can remove the Java Virtual Machine with no effect at all on
"JavaScript", which is still a different language. It's likely that the
updates have done just this.
