Hi Jon,

I'm also having problems with neither IE6 (XPSP2) nor Firefox running
Java scripts. In the Custom section, the Java scripting is set at "High
Safety". I went to the url you recommended below and installed the XP
scripten.exe file appropriate for my system. Still "no dicey". I'd be
grateful for any additional advice you could give me...

aloha,

David C. Hurd

1. You might want to refresh your scripting engine:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/downloads/list/webdev.asp
Windows Script 5.6 for Windows 2000 and XP
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...43-7e4b-4622-86eb-95a22b832caa&DisplayLang=en

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

(WinXP users who have problems with 2a and 2b, see
http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/answers_9.htm)

3. Re-register all DLLs listed in http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=281679

5a. IE Tools>Internet Options>Advanced>Browsing>Enable third-party browser
extensions (uncheck & reboot).

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

Hi Frank,

I have also had similar problems. I have had no issues using IE 6.0 until I
upgraded to SP2. When I upgraded to SP2 on three different computers -
different manufacturers also, all three fail to execute javascripts
correctly. I have tried all of the solutions proposed by Frank Saunders (see
below) except reloading the operating system. I find this a very undesirable
solution for several reasons.

One is that the OS were preinstalled and do not support repair.
Re-installing will wipe out all other programs and all Microsoft updates.
The time investment alone is significant. Additionally, the system is at
risk until all the updates are re-applied, and finally, once all the updates
are reapplied, then the problem with Javascript returns.

I think this is a significant bug with the SP2 upgrade and needs to be
resolved by microsoft. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be a good way
to raise issues with Microsoft unless you are willing to spend $.
