Default Javascript no longer works

Until very recently (I believe), all pages that use JavaScript (e.g. form
filling pages or pop up pages) used to work. Since I installed
KB891075 update, I no longer seem to be able to run them. I get no error.
If, for instance, I click on a link that will open a new window, it opens
the window, but does nothing.

Could this be due to the MS and Sun Java issue a while ago? If so, how do I
go about sorting out the problem. I have JavaScript enabled in Explorer.

I am using Win98SE with all critical updates patched.

TIA
Martin

Hi,

When you click on a link to open a new window, the window opens, but
nothing displays in the page, correct? Does this happen on every and any
new window you try to open? When you right-click any link and select
open in new window, same results? Does it also happen on links that open
in the same window?

If it's just selected sites, you can check your IE security settings and
see if by chance certain sites got put into the restricted site list.
ToolsInternet OptionsSecurity or Control PanelInternet OptionsSecurity.

Java and javascript are different animals. The only way this could be
related to java is if every site you were trying to open was 100% java--
not very likely at all. Java is commonly used to make crossword puzzles,
but has many other uses too.

Javascript is widely used on the web and in particular is how popup
windows are opened. Seldom is an entire page's content javascript, but
if the popup window opens, javascript is working at your end anyway.
Javascript has many, many other uses, such as rollover affects, slide
shows and so on.

If you could provide a link or 2 to sites you are having trouble with,
that may help determine what the problem is.

Assuming you actually mean Javascript (Jscript), and not Java, install or reinstall
Windows Script 5.6 for Windows 98, Windows Millennium Edition, and Windows NT 4.0:

It is not an issue with the Sun VS MS Java 'thing', they have kissed
and made up anyway.

Test your Java here
http://www.javatester.org/

Reinstall the 891075 update.
Resinstall 816093 MS Java build 3810.
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/catalog/
http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/answers_9.htm

Reinstall JavaScript (JScript)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

In the event you make it this far down the list you can reinstall ie as
well. Navigate to C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer folder and double
click on ie6setup.exe, choose custom and select manually every item
that was installed previously.
