Javascript problems!

I see alot of posts for javascript help, and ive read them all and tried everything but javascript simply wont work in my Internet explorer, i have IE 6 and windows xp.

Ive tryed enabling all of it thru the custom internet options w/ no luck, ive tried everything..help!

 

at times, problems are caused by antivirus programs.

however, you can download
java machine free for XP users:
http://java.sun.com/getjava/download.html

Also included in XP SP1

Install over present installation.

 

callmebuttah Hi

Some xp's were shipped without ms java

You can check if it is on your pc by -first enabling show all hiden
files and folders (not sure how with xp) (and _I think)
doing a search for msjava.dll
Once found if there right click on it and then to properties
and then the version tab

the latest version is 5.0.3809.0 if its 3805 there will be an update at windows update ---maybe they keep changing things

If no msjava.dll use the link Geezer provided

and go before a connection is established control panel > internet options > security tab > custom level > msvm should be at medium or low ..

near the bottom all scripting should be enabled --(three each)

near the top active x controls five each

first--- enabled
2 -disabled
3-disabled
4-enabled
5- enabled

Has this helped ?
let us know

Javascript has nothing to do with Java. Javascript is a scripting language dependent on the Windows Scripting Host. It is present whether or not you have Java installed.

Try reinstalling IE.

 

I tried reinstalling, didnt work..any others suggestions?

Reinstalling didn't succeed or didn't help? If it didn't succeed, try these directions:

HI
Go to user cp on the forum home page
click on the edit options down near the bottom


Use vBCode quick links on your message input screens?
Enabling this option allows you to quickly manipulate different aspects of your posts including color, font, and size. In addition you can click on smilies to have them inserted into your posts. You may disable this option if it causes problems for you. X yes
