Hoover buttons (Java?) on some pages don't work

I can not get the hoover buttons on some pages to work (example
http://dupageco.org/sheriff/ ). The links illuminate like they should but
they don't take me to the respective page. I see the link in the address
bar and can get to it by entering it manually or by clicking on the html
links that are in the page.

Other pages with similar buttons do not present a problem.

I am curious if the issue is something with my computer or at the other end.

Thanks

Hi,
Well, as of about 11 hours after you posted, those links work for me.

Since they're JavaScript links, try these steps:
Go to Internet Options> Security> Internet Zone, set it to Default.

Try the Internet Options> Security settings at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/restricted.htm#Setting

Clear the IE cache. IE> Tools> Internet Options> General> Delete
files (and delete offline content when that dialog pops up) It's often
recommended that the TIF folder be kept at about 50 MB (Settings.)

Important...
Check any third-party security programs to see if one of them is blocking
scripts, scripting, active content. Norton Internet Security and a number of
other programs can be configured to block scripts.

Try these two commands from Start> Run> cmd [enter]
regsvr32 vbscript.dll [enter]
regsvr32 jscript.dll [enter]

Reinstall the scripting engine. Go to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/downloads/list/webdev.asp
for the appropriate download of Windows Script 5.6

Re-registering the DLLs listed in this article may help:

"Hoover Buttons" are actually Hover Buttons.
They are Java.
Not Java Script.

Big difference. Especially when Java is not supported/installed on many
browsers.

Thanks, you nailed it, it was my pop up blocker.
