All,

I'm experiencing all sort's of problems with IE that just can't be explained
the most recent is when ever I try to apply any form attributes like
onFocus, onBlur etc, I get an error "Object doesn't support this action. The
script is below. Another example of a problem is I lost the ability to
launch .asp and .aspx pages from shortcuts.

While I don't have a clue what I'm doing with JavaScript this script is
pretty simple and should work (Netscape and Opera does). I've run a full
virus scan with Norton AV, and a Trojan scan using both Spybot and AdAware ,
without detecting any problems. Their fore I'm inclined to think that my
installation of IE or the .Net Framework has been corrupted.

Is their a way of reinstalling IE????

<body onload="">

<input id="id_test" name="test" maxlength="25" onBlur="start()" />

1. Is NAV fully up-to-date? Do you always seek updates for AdAware and
Spybot before each use?

2. Do you have Java on WinXP?

Java and Java VM: http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/answers_9.htm

3. Reinstall the 5.6 Scripting Engine from this page (choose the Win2K
link):

4. Last but not least:

Reinstall or Repair IE/OE
