JAVASCRIPT

[Jeff]

My browser will not open any link that uses javascript.
Whenever the status bar says "javascript: ....." it will
not open or do anything. How can i fix this?

Get the Java VM.

1. You might want to refresh your scripting engine:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/nhp/default.asp?contentid=28001169
or
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/downloads/list/webdev.asp
Windows Script 5.6 for Windows 2000 and XP
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...43-7e4b-4622-86eb-95a22b832caa&DisplayLang=en

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

(WinXP users who have problems with 2a and 2b, see
http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/answers_9.htm)

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):

Oops, you're right. Since nothing "opens" for the javascript command (which presumably is an open() command for a new window), maybe the OP has a popup blocker enabled. Or scripting is disabled (in their security zone settings or within a popup blocker that can change those settings, like PopUp Cop, based on a selected irritation level).
