Javascript?

In the Original post how do you mean you "try to click something" also
is it one particular site or many sites.. Have you accidently blocked Java with a firewall.

I suppose it's always a remote possibility that installing the latest Javascript Runtime Environment (5.0 update 6. alternatively shows as 1.5.0_06) might fix the problem? 16 MB of download (but you can always Remove any other earlier versions you find in Add/Remove programs).

No F1F1. Pop up blocker makes no difference.

Intel's idea about a firewall may be soemthing though. I run Norton anti-virus and anti-spam and internet securioty, I've tried changing the various settings, but it seems to make no difference.

If I do what F1F1 said, but hold the shift key down (not control), I do get a new window, but with an error message (Page cannot be displayed). Might this mean anything?

I reckon it could be Norton, just disable firewall for a mo and try the site then re enable firewall.

Dont take ages though, and I mean Norton firewall.

You're confusing Java (developed by Sun) with JavaScript (originally developed by Netscape), they're two different languages. The JRE is related to Java.

From the sound of things I reckon it's something to do with Norton. I'm sure I've seen posts before about Norton blocking any scripts from running. Try Intel's suggestion.

F1F1

Testing javascript - http://www.dancespots.net/browsertest.htm

What is/are the site/s you are having problems with? Link?

Could you have any other pop-up blockers? - Google Toolbar? In IE, tools-> internet options -> privacy -> Pop-Up Blocker -> either uncheck box or add a site to exceptions in 'settings'.

John I ran Java the test (again) and it's ok. Latest version installed.

Thanks

F1F1 computer passed these tests as well.

One site I'm having troub;e with is

http://www.silkartbygus.com/galleries/ReefLife/index.html

When you click on any of the pictures a new window is supposed to open, but it doesn't. Does it work for anyone else?

Anyone know how to switch the Norton firewall off and/o the windows firewall?

Thanks again

intel

Is there a Norton Icon next to the PCs clock where you can right click and choose disable.

Windows firewall wont have any effect on this (im 99.9% sure of that)

I would also check yer pop up blocker settings. In IE, Tools, Pop Up
Blocker, Pop Up blocker settings... set to medium. and have you an adblocker at all.

Thanks Intel. Found it, but it made no difference. I'm stumped.

I don't think it's possible to have windows firewall enabled at the same timeso it probably isn't that (??)

Just checked - It's off anyway
