Hi Group,

I sure hope someone can help me with this:

Since early yesterday, JavaScript links that should open a new window are
returning the following error:
---------------------
Problems with this web page might prevent it from being displayed properly
or functioning properly..

Line: 1
Char: 1
Error: Object doesn't support this property or method
Code: 0
URL:
javascript:parent.fnDisplayDetails('http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdown
load/update/v3/static/rtf/en/5986.htm');
----------------

I've checked my internet settings:
I have Java Console and JIT Compiler enabled in my Tools/Internet Options/
Click to expand...
Advanced/ Microsoft VM (but not Java logging)
I have MS VM Java Permissions set to Medium Safety in Security Settings
Click to expand...

I'd be so grateful if anyone could help me resolve this.

Java and JavaScript are not related, except in some marketer's mind.

You might want to refresh your scripting engine:

Hi Frank,

Thanks for your reply. I had read this reply in one of your previous posts
with a similar situation. I was a little unclear as to which link I should
go to but I chose the second one because I'm running XPHome. I downloaded
and installed Windows Script 5.6 for WinXP. It didn't help. I just took a
look at the first link you posted and, again, I'm unclear as to which link
on that page I need to look at. Most of this info is over my head. I don't
see a link that specifically says "Refresh Scripting Engine". Can you point
me in the right direction? And if all this fails would you recommend
reinstalling IE6? Can it be reinstalled individually from my WinXP Home CD?

TIA,
Barb
