javascripts not working in windows IE 6
both me and my younger brother have been trying for days to access the following website:
h**p://www.toonamijetstream.com/
but just cannot seem to be geting onto it. ive tried various things such as disabling norton, restarting my computer, enabling and disabling java but it still does not work. i've also encounTered problems with hotmail too where i cannot seem to delete my emails in my inbox. all i see is the yellow and black exclamation symbol reporting error at the bottom left of the screen. ive also tried installing a new version of java but that to did not work how can i solve this irritating problem?

19th December 2006, 21:37 #3 Java and javascripts are two different things, so updating Java won't stop javascript errors in webpages.
Anyway the website just needs to run an ActiveX control. Its likely that you have IE6 set to not notify you of any pop-up or ActiveX blocks etc. Adding it to your trusted sites list (tools > internet options > security) should allow the site to work. If not you will have to tell IE to (temporarily) notify you when a website wants to install an ActiveX control. To do so go to tools > internet options > security, setting it to medium-high should allow the site to work. If not, try a lower settign but remember to change it back once you have downloaded the ActiveX control.

19th December 2006, 23:35 #4 thankyou very much for your responses. i tried the privacy and trusted zone solution, but that to still did not work. there is still that error message. i tried microsoft solutions and there was a test page to check whether or not javascripts were running properly on IE. i checked it out and i got the same little error icon in the bottom left hand corner. the solution on microsoft also did not work.im now assuming that this problem is persistant for all java script websites. could there be another waya round it as i really do not want to reformat my whole computer again, and thankyou again for your help.

The site that you are trying to access presents you with an ACTIVEX hosting page that needs a plug-in. The java thing is a bit of a red herring.
Inside firefox the webpage asks me if I want to download the activx plug-in which is not what you appear to be seeing.
IE is currently at version 7 so that is one update that you need to do, but I'd also recommend Firefox as a far superior and safer alternative.

20th December 2006, 20:55 #8 hi there ive tried firefox again and i installed the active X control no worries, however i still cannot access the website, all i get is that error, whats worse is my hotmail inbox is still playing up. i tried other various websites, which i think also use javascripts such as the Nokia N series website and that too did not work. ive already downloaded IE 7 and this problem is still an issue. is there any other solution? and thanks alot everyone for your replys really appreciated
