What version? Service Pack?
Help->About Internet Explorer
I use 6.0.28 SP1

If you're using anything under 5.5, upgrade if possible.

Check for errors in the site's script by looking at the lower left hand
corner of the window for a little yellow exclamation point. If you see
that, it's the site that has the problem, not your browser. Click on the
exclamation point for a detailed error message.
By default, IE will NOT show errors, IIRC. It just stops processing and
shows the yellow bang.

If no error exists in the page's code, save the following as test.html
somewhere in my documents or something.

----------
<html>
<head>
<title> New Document </title>
</head>

<body>
<a href="javascrip t:alert('hi'); return false;">say hi</a>
</body>
</html>
------------

Open that in IE with File->Open and click on the link.
Did it work?
If it doesn't alert a 'hi', you might have script disabled. If it does,
you might have your security settings too high and other sites can't run
script.

We'd have to further debug from there.

Re: error with javascript - please help

Thanks for help so far - I copied your message and saved it as
test.html - tried to open it in Internet Explorer, but could not find
the link.

I'm an idiot. :)

One more try.

<html>
<head>
<title> New Document </title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="white" >



<a href="javascrip t:alert('hi');" >say hi</a>



</body>
</html>

(oh, if your browser were set to show errors, you'd have seen my error
immediately at the return statement)

Well, we now know it is your browser having issues and not that site.
So, next thing is to check your settings.

I use IE6, and the settings are in a different spot for some stuff than
5, so let me know if you can't find this.
Anyways, go to Tools->Internet Options and click on the Security Tab.
If Internet (the little globe) isn't highlighted, click on it to
highlight it.
Check to be sure the setting is NOT at high.
If the setting is on Custom, click the custom button to show the
settings.
Scroll down to Scripting
Make sure Active Scripting is enabled.

Let me know if that fixes it.

Also, you're not using Windows 98 or below with IE6, are you? They
aren't compatible.

If you have IE5/6 with Win2000 or XP:
Did you try repairing IE?
Open the Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs, click MS Internet
Explorer to highlight, click the Add/Remove button, select Repair IE.

Another suggestion for Win2K/XP: reinstall WScriptHost.

Re: error with javascript - please help

Thanks for your help so far, but I am afraid not having any luck!

"Active scripting" is enabled but not making any difference!

Anything else I can do??
