[Web4lib] JavaScript mystery

[Kozlowski,Brendon]

If it's on a fresh install PC, it sounds like it is something related to the network (as a fresh install PC would not have antivirus or a 3rd party firewall installed).  Are you, or your ISP, using a proxy by chance?

Hi Brendon,

It is a fresh install. It applies to all web sites. There are no Javascript errors. Even if I type javascript:alert('hello world') into the address bar nothing happens.

Regards
John

John,

I didn't see any replies to this topic - have you figured out the issue?  You never actually stated what website the problem was occuring on, or whether this was a fresh install PC - or if it was specific to a single PC or all PCs tested.  If there are specific websites you are having issues with, could you give the URL as an example so it could be debugged?

Hi,

I was running IE6 on Windows XP. Javascript would not work although active scripting is enabled. I upgraded to IE8 and Javascript still does not work. I set the security level to low and included a Web address in the trusted list but Javascript does not work on this site or any site. I turned off the firewall and turned off my anti virus software without any change.

I installed Opera and Mozilla. Both run Javascript. This resolves the problem.

Although, the problem is easily circumvented by using another browser, I am very intrigued and would dearly love to know what is going on.

I know the truth is out there.


Regards,

John
