When trying to enter into a chat with my ISP technical support, I got
a message saying Javascript needs to be enabled/installed. How do I
do this? I know Microsoft does not particularly like Javascript (but
I think it's here to stay). Is Sun better than Microsoft? TIA
 
Hi,
Internet Explorer's ability to render Javascript comes from Windows Script.
More on that later...

For your type of Javascript problem, some possibilities:

Go to Internet Options> Security> Internet Zone, set it to Default.

Or, try the Internet Options> Security settings at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/restricted.htm#Setting

Clear the IE cache. IE> Tools> Internet Options> General> Delete
files (and delete offline content when that dialog pops up) It's often
recommended that the TIF folder be kept at about 50 MB (Settings.)

From Internet Options> General> Temporary Internet Files> Settings> View
Objects, choose "Details" view and remove any objects marked as damaged.

Important...
Check any third-party security programs to see if one of them is blocking
scripts, scripting, active content. Norton Internet Security and a number of
other programs can be configured to block scripts.

Try these two commands from Start> Run> cmd [enter]
regsvr32 vbscript.dll [enter]
regsvr32 jscript.dll [enter]

Reinstall the scripting engine. Go to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/downloads/list/webdev.asp
for the appropriate download of Windows Script 5.6

Re-registering the DLLs listed in this article may help:
