    How do I know Javascript is enable?

    I'm having problems accessing a site that is supposed to be okay.
    The most likely possibility is that it has a lot of Javascript.

    How do I know if my browser is enabled for JS?

    I'm using win2K SP 4 with IE 6.

    Thanks for your help,
    Peter.

      Create a file with this:
      <html>
      <script type="text/javascript">
      alert("JS Message");
      </script>
      </html>

      If you see the pop-up, JS is enabled.

          If you get a big red box saying
          'This PC is running Microsoft Windows
          and using Internet Explorer.'
          Javascript is enabled.

                  When you care to read the article yourself, you will notice that this method
                  detects whether Java is enabled, not JavaScript.

                      Thanks a lot folks.

                      The html file worked and I do have JS.

                      The link:
                      Page not found | Physci.org
                      http://www.physci.org/jvmclean.jsp?pt=js

                      gave me:
                      Service Temporarily Unavailable
                      The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance
                      downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.

                      Apache/1.3.29 Server at www.physci.org Port 80

                      It sure looks like a JS problem to me, but maybe I'm getting at the site
                      the wrong way -- from google.

                      Peter.

                          Excellent.

                          Aaah. My server is a bit sleepy, apparently.

                          Usually, if you try them in a few moments,
                          they come good.
