Javascript links not working

[Guest]

Hello

I hope that someone can help. I've looked over the numerous other messages on this problem, and either I'm being daft, or they don't seem to solve my problem! Thanks in advance to anyone who has suggestions

I'm running IE 6 SP1 with all the latest live updates, in XP home edition, version 2002 SP1

One example website is www.boschappliances.co.u
The 'Error on page'icon is bottom left of the browser, and when I hover over 'Web Assistant' 'Dealer Locator' 'Feedback' or 'Contact' it changes to "javascript://"
Nothing happens at all when I click on them. This seems to happen on all the sites I visit with javascript

I've checked Nortons, and it just has the recommended 'enable script blocking' and will ask me what to do should something come up

I had gone to Control Panel/Admin Tools/Services and 'stoped' the Messenger service, which had stopped pop-ups, but having restarted the service and the PC, the problem persists

According to: http://www.pocoso.de/pocoso052.html - java is o
According to: http://www.dancespots.net/browsertest.htm - javascript is enable
According to: http://www.visualware.com/support/msjava.html - Microsoft Java VM build NOT detecte

I'm not sure what other info you might need, and I'm not terribly technical, so please stick with me
I look forward to some assistance with this

Very best wishes

I'm having the same problem too. I'm running xp pro, with
all the latest updates (including q827667) I really don't
like using Netscape, but at least it works with the
javascript links. Hopefully someone out there has the
solution.

Javascript links are usually used (versus regular HTML links) because the
page designer wants the page to appear in a specific window size, possibly
without some or all of the browser bars. That is the case with the example
URL you provided. This functionality is defeated by popup blocking software.
Do you have any such popup blocker installed and running?

If all else fails, there is a link in one of the popup windows (that you were
unable to view) at boschappliances.co.uk which directs you to a form for
contacting them about problems viewing their website. Here is the direct
link:

I finally got mine to work by un-installing my pop up
software.

Thanks... I don't think I've got any pop-up stopping software running. Certainly nothing that I've specifically installed
Would it be a 'feature' of IE security, System Works, Personal Firewall, Internet Security??

If it does transpire that there is some blocking turned on, how do I stop the pesky pop-ups without causing this problem?
Seems like a vicious circle

Again, many thanks
