Script error / DHTML Visual filters

Hi,
I have posted many problems to this discussion group . Minor problems that
have been around for months and have had them rectified within a day.
But there is one minor problem which I keep posting many times and have had
no response. Perhaps I did not give sufficient information thinking that
this may have been posted here before and has a ready solution.

Here is all the information which think is needed.

The problem is that the visual filters in DHTML do not work.
I have done all the preliminary things.
Repaired IE6 . Reinstalled IE6.
Then followed the Knowledge Base article instructions about registering the
various DLLs use Regsrvr32.

I have scanned for Parasites using Noadware. For antivirus using the latest
AVG from Grisoft.

The problem is easy to reproduce.
When I load Stephen Le Hunte's HTML Language reference the screen I get just
after the splash screen says:

Internet Explorer Script Error

Line : 37
Char : 2
Error: Class not registered
Code : 0
URL :..........

This used to run some months back. Until I had to reinstall Windows 98 due
to a virus infection.

Hardware : 128Mb, AMD 400 MHz chip ,Sis 530 motherboard.

Then when I try to display all the visual filters under DHTML Visual filters
none work.

Help!

Hi Jan,
That was a surprise.
I have never had any reply to this query. Perhaps because I posted
sufficient details.
I am sure this will work. I am going to go through each one of the
suggestions.

Anil
 
Hi Jan,
Still trying all the suggestions.
It seems I had done ALL that is mentioned already. Still trying . Maybe I
overlooked something.

These are a few other indications that something is wrong.

In yahoo messenger:

When I want to send an instant message and I try to set an IMvironment. It
takes me to a page that says that a certain nameless file is old and needs
to be replaced. Then it points to a page which could reinstall IE6. However
I have already done this many times.
the page which gives me problems can also be seen at :
http://meerutup.tripod.com/meerut7.htm
By the way the Javascript works in Mozilla . The filters don't , because
Mozilla probably does not have visual filter support.
Yes the javascript which changes the images for the last on the page also
does not work.
I had this problem on another computer with IE4. And I remember correcting
it with something in the registry now I forget.

So I am still trying.

Hi Anil :-)

Try the procedures that you have not already tried in the following. There
has been some very good results with the Sun Java as well.

Courtesy of Jim Byrd:

You can test whether Java is working on your machine at the following sites:

http://www.pocoso.de/pocoso052.html
http://www.clan.lib.ri.us/clan/javatest.html (This one may be down)
http://www.fitwise.com/testjava.asp (both 1.0 and 1.1 and what's installed)
http://coglab.wadsworth.com/support/browsercheck.html
http://www.ces.clemson.edu/webct/browser_detect.html

and you can test Javascript here:
http://www.dancespots.net/browsertest.htm

There is good information concerning all aspects of the Java situation here:
http://www.javatester.org/installing.html

Be aware, however, that after Dec 31, 2007, MS will apparently no longer be
distributing Java or providing any support for Java including security
fixes. See here: http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/java/ so you might want
to start thinking about the future.

You can get the Sun Java J2SE RunTimes or SDK here:
http://java.sun.com/downloads/index.html (all versions - select using the
dropdown)

Sun also offers an automatic download and install of the 1.4 Java plug-in
here: http://java.sun.com/getjava/download.html


For the MS Java VM, you may need to install v.3805 or v.3809 prior to
upgrading to v. 3810 if you didn't previously have MS Java v. 3805 or 3809
installed.

If your OS is Win2000 SP2, SP3 but NOT SP4 then you can download and install
MS Java VM v. 3809 from here:
http://download.windowsupdate.com/m..._510A502BA8F9B6F19230BB2BCCE87D5474AC9DCD.exe
or here:
http://www.biologylab.awlonline.com...icrosoft.Q810030_W2K_SP4_5849/Q810030_W2K.exe

For Win2000 SP4, you'll need to re-install v.3805, from here (these are also
reported to work for XP):
http://www.download.support.safetec.net/msjavx86/msjavx86.exe
http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/msjavx86.exe
http://www.sijet.com/msjavx86.exe

For all other OS's:

Download and install the MS Java VM v. 3809 from one of the links here:
http://ftp.idilis.ro/windows/sp/jvm98/msjavwu.exe, or here:
http://secinfo.huji.ac.il/patches/Win-xp/msjavwu.exe or v. 3805 from
here:
http://www.sijet.com/msjavx86.exe
(or you can try the SP4 3805's listed just above)

Then upgrade to v. 3810:

For all OS's except Win2kSP4 obtain v. 3810 here:
http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail.php3?fid=1050022631 ,or here:
http://download.windowsupdate.com/m...l/MSJavWU_8073687b82d41db93f4c2a04af2b34d.exe

For Win2k - SP2, SP3 - you can also obtain v. 3810 from Microsoft here:
http://download.microsoft.com/downl...-9b18-423356321682/Q816093_W2K_SP4_X86_EN.exe

For Win2kSP4, to get 3810 from Microsoft you now have to get Q816093 from
Windows Update Catalog - use the entry for Windows 2000 SP4 (this seems to
be the only Win2k option that has it) and then find 816093 in the list. You
can find directions for using the Windows Update Catalog functions here:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;323166. (I am
informed by Torgeir Bakken, MVP, that if you rename the downloaded file from
here: http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail.php3?fid=1050022631 to
msjavwu.exe it will then also work for SP4. The following four additional
ftp sources MAY also work, either directly or using Saybo's procedure,
below: ftp.procergs.com.br/pub/procergs/ASP/JavaXP/Microsoft
ftp.eesnet.ru/windows/internet/MSIE/msjavwu.exe
ftp.boulder.ibm.com/software/xde/2003.06.12.01/install/DISK1/SETUP/SETUP/pat
ches/msjavwu.exe
ftp.hs-niederrhein.de/pub/security/systems/winxp/fixes/security-bulletins/us
a/msjavwu.exe )

The following procedure has also been reported to work for Win2kSP4 by Saybo
at
"I always try to install the 3805 package 1st. Most of the time that does
not work, so I then have them download the 3810 package, open it in WinZip
and extract msjava.dll and vmhelper.dll to the system32 folder. Then run
the 3810 install. This has had a 100% success rate for the last couple of
months."

All the feedback I've had about using this approach for the SP4 case has
been favorable, so far.

Both Java VM's can co-exist on your machine quite nicely. Just select which
one you want to use in Tools|Internet Options|Advanced and restart all IE
browsers. Here, courtesy of Mitch Gallant, MVP Security, is a tiny utility
which allows you to toggle and view status of your current Java VM vendor
associated with IE:
http://www.jensign.com/JavaScience/SelectIEJVM/index.html

A note from Mitch Gallant:

"One note about the JVM Selector utility: If/when you install a new
version of Sun J2SE, you need to manually select to have Sun JVM as default
JVM for IE (in install), or after install via the JavaPlugin control panel.
This generates the necessary win32 registry entries, which must be present
for the utility to know about JavaPlugin. After that, the utility should
work properly."

Hi Jan II,
Thanks again .
Will go through all.
I have an Online trading app which uses JAVA and that is running fine. But I
will try the checks you have listed.

Anil
 
Hi Jan II
Thanks for the links .
I tried out the JAVA and the Javascript tests.
Both Passed without any problems.
That is why this is such a bugging problem. :)

Still trying....

Hi Jan II,

And another thing.

I think .. I am not sure.
That the DHTML visual filters have something to do with activex and not Java
or Javascript?

Yes.....this is a possibility....and makes it very difficult to troubleshoot
and come up with the proper solution. Actually, with XP it can be
JavaScript, ActiveX, or even Flash/Shockwave/Macromedia.....or a
combination, depending on the programming of the problem webpage(s). That
is why we must sometimes go through the series of different processes, and
maybe none of them work. It is as frustrating for those of us who try to
help, as it is for users who have to go through all the information we
research for hours for them, only to find that it does not help. But....we
keep trying.....and hope you will too. :-))

In keeping with the ActiveX train of thought, you might as well also try the
following and see if it helps:

Check for bogus files in Active X Controls

Courtesy of Jim Byrd

You can check the following concerning ActiveX components trying to reach
defunct servers. If these particular ones don't show up, check for any
other anomalous entries:

Take a look in %SYSTEMDRIVE%\%SystemRoot%\Downloaded Program Files (these re
ActiveX components), and see if you have something there called Tracker
Class. If so, right click and click Remove (don't just delete it). This is
a hi-jack program that's trying to reach a server that's no longer working,
so it hangs up.

There are some others that are similar in effect also, so if you don't have
Tracker Class, right click on each thing in this folder then select
Properties. The Codebase line will often give you a clue as to where
something came from. If it looks like it might not belong, try Remove.
Things like Sun Java Runtimes and Macromedia stuff like Shockwave or Apple
Quicktime are normal, so use some judgment about what you eliminate. Mostly
you'll be asked to re-download them if you Remove something that's actually
needed.

Also check in Add-Remove Programs for Surfchoice 1.1 and remove it. It is
also tracker software to a defunct server.

Additional important information about removing ActiveX controls is in the
following Microsoft articles:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q240797
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q154850

If these steps do not resolve your problem, please post back to this thread
with the details and any error messages.

Thank you for your patience. :-)

Hi Jan II,
There is some more on this .

Actually the page that gives problems is at
http://meerutup.tripod.com/meerut7.htm.
The last section.

NO SCRIPT ERROR comes up for this.
I t uses a combination of Javascript and DHTMl.
Javascript to change the Pictures. And DHTML to display them.
Both don't work in IE6.

However . The pictures change in both Mozilla Firebird and Firefox. These
don't have Visual filters.

So maybe that gives something to work on.

I mentioned this earlier a Script error comes up while viewing Stephen Le
Hunte's HTML reference Library. So I assumed the problems were related.


Anil
 
Hi Jan ,

I am giving all the observations which may affect the problem.
There is a very pronounced flickering when rendering animated giffs. In fact
white rectangles can be seen . I have reinstalled the video drivers too. The
video is SIS530 based.
I must repeat here that I have seen this fault on another computer which
does not have the SIS chipset so it may not be chipset related.
In any case this was working on this computer itself.

I repeat again.
BOTH the Javascript and the video rendering don't operate.
In FIREFOX the Javascript( changing the slides) works fine but there is no
Video filter support there.

Anil
 
Hi Jan,

I got it going..
The "script error" was what sent us in the wrong direction. It was there .

I had mentioned that there was a horrible flickering on various pages with
Flash , or animated giffs.

Anyhow I downloaded the latest DIRECTX9 from the Microsoft site. And all is
OK.

:)

Thanks for the help,
Once I was sure what was not wrong then I knew where to look.
