Cant use hyperlink in IE

JamboDP

My laptop automatically updated to windows 8.1 yesterday and I now cannot use the hyperlink button when posting comps in IE but I can in chrome, any help would be appreciated.

Check Internet Options and see if Javascript/scripting has been disabled.

I have gone into 'Tools' then 'Internet options' and cannot find that anywhere.

I only have IE8 here, but ...

Tools | Internet Options | Security tab

Select the zone (e.g. Internet) then click on Custom Level. Scroll down near the bottom of the list and Enable (or set to Prompt) Active Scripting.

I have found the setting for javascript and it is enabled. but still cannot post hyperlinks.

You can always do it the long-hand way ...

[ url=some.website.name]The text to see[/ url]

(Space before url is deliberate, so the forum doesn't try to change the above into an actual link in this post).

Are you confusing Java and JavaScript, JJ?

I did this on a lappy a few weeks ago.. Settings up on the top right. Allow Scripts or something..

I forget whats there, but a single click sorted it. This also stopped animations in emails received like virtual greetings cards.
