I can't access certain items

[robanion]

I am having problems with certain buttons. If it is Javascript, I can't access it. For example--at elance I cannot view portfolios. When a site allows to enlarge a picture, I cannot do it. Some sites I cannot even place an order--nothing happens when I click.

This is so frustrating. Can anyone please help me to understand what I need to do to make it work?

I have read about the settings in Java, but even if I reset them, nothing helps. I am using IE 6.

Thank you.

More likely than not, that was a slight, if unintended, exaggeration,
almost all Websites now use JScript, and technically buttons and
image links belong under HTML, but not necessarily, this should
probably be somewhere else though, cause this isn't a programming
post.

But anyway:

Does an error message pop up? If not, then maybe your error
messages are suppressed, look at the bottom-left corner of the
screen, if there's a yellow triangle, double click it and see what
it says, if it appears every time there's a problem, then it's the
site's fault.

Sorry, maybe you could post a link? I'm using IE6 right now...
PS. View their source, is there a <script> tag? What's in it?

I figured it out. It was my Web Washer preventing pop ups from occurring :o

Sorrry...Please move along...nothing to see here....


I'll just be going now........

You meant Javascript and not JScript right? They are two different things.

[Guardian23]

Errr... yes.

But about that, what exactly is the language called "JScript", I
hear about it, but never actually saw it or touched it, so what is
it?

PS. sorry 'bout that, I heard a reference to JScript once in a post,
so I just assumed that they meant JavaScript.

JScript is Microsofts version of Javascript.

Only supported in IE of course. It was a weak effort to try and compete with Netscape at the time when Netscape developed Javascript.
