I have created a form for a website which is driven by a
small javascript for validation. The forms works fine on
Windows 2000 and NT, but it is not working on XP? I heard
that early versions of XP were released without javascipt
capability, because Microsoft and Sun were in dispute. Is
this the reason? How do I fix it?

That was Java and not javascript, two completely different animals...

How do I fix it?

Reinstall Microsoft Windows Script 5.6 and see if it helps:

JAVA and JAVAscript are two different animals. The Sun/MS dispute
involved JAVA, the latest standard version of which can be downloaded from
http://java.sun.com/getjava

The "enhanced" MS JAVA (virtual machine) is no longer offered by MS, but
is available on the Net for those pages that are MS-centric.
