IE6 blocks Javascript

A lot of sites are telling me that my browser (IE6 WinXPSP2) is blocking
javascript or is not IE6/7.
But it isn't set for blocking javascript and the most sites are working
fine.
What can be wrong?
 
Post the complete error messages and decide on what version of IE you're
using.
 
When I turn on 'display every script error' the most errors are:
Error in line... object expected code 0

IE 6.0.2900.2180
 
"Disable script debugging" - check this

"Display a notification about every script error" - uncheck this

Move on. The problem is on the pages, not your machine.

Click to expand...

Go to Tools | Internet Options | Advanced.
Check the box to Disable script debugging.
Uncheck the box to Display a notification about every script error.

1. You might want to refresh your scripting engine:

2. Sometimes there's a corrupt file in the cache and one must go to Tools |
Internet Options and click Delete Files.

2a. Start | Run | Regsvr32 vbscript.dll

2b. Start | Run | Regsvr32 jscript.dll

5b. Find the hijacker that caused 5a to be checked (or if none were checked,
check for hijackware anyway):
