Until very recently (I believe), all pages that use JavaScript (e.g. form

KB891075 update, I no longer seem to be able to run them. I get no error.
If, for instance, I click on a link that will open a new window, it opens
the window, but does nothing.

Could this be due to the MS and Sun Java issue a while ago? If so, how do I
go about sorting out the problem. I have JavaScript enabled in Explorer.

I am using Win98SE with all critical updates patched.

Hi,

When you click on a link to open a new window, the window opens, but
nothing displays in the page, correct? Does this happen on every and any
new window you try to open? When you right-click any link and select
open in new window, same results? Does it also happen on links that open
in the same window?

If it's just selected sites, you can check your IE security settings and
see if by chance certain sites got put into the restricted site list.

Java and javascript are different animals. The only way this could be
related to java is if every site you were trying to open was 100% java--
not very likely at all. Java is commonly used to make crossword puzzles,
but has many other uses too.

Javascript is widely used on the web and in particular is how popup
windows are opened. Seldom is an entire page's content javascript, but
if the popup window opens, javascript is working at your end anyway.
Javascript has many, many other uses, such as rollover affects, slide
shows and so on.

If you could provide a link or 2 to sites you are having trouble with,
that may help determine what the problem is.
