Javascript still won't run...

[Karl Juul]

I have tried seemingly every suggestion found here and other places to get
javascript to run, without success.

Last night I came across a tip to reinstall IE by changing a registry key
(to show that IE was not installed) then downloaded the latest SP1 version
and installed it...still no joy.

Some javascript commands seem to run OK, others with errors, and many simply
do nothing at all when the link is clicked.
And yes, scripting is enabled. I've tried all IE security and privacy
settings including the lowest levels with default settings.

BTW, the OS is XP Home.

If the Google toolbar was available for Netscape, I would abandon IE
entirely.

Any geniuses out there?

I've been having the same problem. I changed the registry
key, tried to reinsall IE, same result as you.

Here's an example of where my problem shows up:

-Go to http://www.microsoft.com/money/support/manual/
-Click on "Open the Microsoft Money 2003 User's Guide"
--javascript:UsersGuide(677,500,0,0);
--link will not work - it should take me to:
http://www.microsoft.com/money/support/manual/start.asp

-If I go directly to
http://www.microsoft.com/money/support/manual/start.asp
-- Works fine

When you guts find the answer please let me know, I have the same problem
and no solution yet.
As you say, I have tried everything I know.

Hi All - Well, you can try the following. If that doesn't help, post
back in this same thread and we can look at some other things for you:

Java and JavaScript are two different things.
For JavaScript: download the latest engine for your particular OS here
(use Win2000 for XP, I'm told):

http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/default.asp?url=/downloads/topic.asp?url=/msdn-files/028/001/175/topic.xml

(URL may wrap.) (Click "Windows Script 5.6" in the left frame.)

That won't install under XP...

Same here,

I've been checking this newsgroup for a month and no effective solution yet.

I miss those days when Netscape was still a competitor.

Funny thing. I tried to click the link to forward this
email. It doesn't work "javascript:sendForward;"
I'm still looking...

Hi Karl - Try this instead and see if it works. If It will let you use
the Win2k download for XP, please post back to this same thread with
your results:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/results.aspx?productID=&freetext=jscript&DisplayLang=en
(URL may wrap.) (Get both "Windows Script 5.6" and "JScript 5.6
Security Patch" for your particular OS. I'm told that the Win2k
downloads also should work for XP, but I haven't verified this
personally.) Regards, Jim Byrd

The Windows Script 5.6 aborts halfway through the installation with the
message of "software has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify
compatibility with Windows XP. This software will not be installed"

The JScript 5.6 patch installed OK, but accomplishes nothing in terms of
javascript functionality for me.

I'm getting deja vu all over again...spent weeks trying everything that
everybody suggested a year ago and am still without javascript.

Well, at this point I'm going to have to defer to some of the XP folk.
(The only other thing that comes to mind would be to re-install XP SP1
and see if that fixes things.) Anybody with XP smarts want to chime in
here? Regards, Jim Byrd

I have the same problem but it happens to my Win2k & Win98SE machines, which makes me believe that the problem is not the OS but the IE6 Sp1.

Jim,

This is yet another example of how badly XP needs
to have IE Repair re-enabled.

You can actually get it if you install IE6sp1 without installing
XPsp1. And uninstalling XPsp1 is possible but I'm not sure
what effect that may have on any preSP2 patches which also
might be present. I have suggested (speculatively) uninstalling
those where possible in the reverse order that they were installed
before uninstalling XPsp1 (JIC).

The neat thing then is that even if you later install XPsp1
they don't remove setupwbv.dll so you can still do a Repair
the manual way even though IE6sp1 gets removed from the
Add/Remove Programs list.

The alternative to that is the proliferation of all these lists of
regsvr32 commands that people are offered. Didn't you
have a nice big long one that you were suggesting a while
ago? Did it have all of the .dll and .ocx that are listed
in the SCRIPTEN.cab .inf file? FWIW that has been
another of my (speculative) suggestions:

<excerpt>
Something which seems feasible is just to try reregistering
all the .dlls and .ocx that come with SCRIPTEN.cab (the NT5
version of SCR56EN.cab). For example here is a list that I gave
in another post on a similar issue:

for %d in (jscript.dll
vbscript.dll
dispex.dll
scrrun.dll
scrobj.dll
wshom.ocx
wshext.dll
wshcon.dll
) do regsvr32 %d

Note: I haven't tried it but I imagine you could even make
a cmd file to run the above for command.
</excerpt>

In another reply to a Windows 2000 user I pointed out
this next possibility which I think would be available also to
an XP user who had installed IE6sp1. The problem being
circumvented is that neither the IE Add a Component tool
nor the ie6setup Customization option is available in either OS.

<quote>
If you want to be slightly more daring I think you could achieve
the same effect anyway by issuing the following command:

ie6setup.exe /c:"ie6wzd /E:MSVBScript_W2K"

According to the iesetup.cif that would reinstall
Version="5,6,0,7426" for Platform=NT5
</quote>

Finally, whatever happened to that big long complicated command
that we used to give XP IE6 users to do a pseudo reinstall of IE?
Will it still work after XPsp1, etc? Perhaps it's another case where
uninstalling back to XP and IE6 would allow a known repair procedure
to proceed.

FWIW
