Uninstall / Remove Javascript from WinXP
Both my browsers IE6 and Netscape 7.1 are having real problems dealing with any web pages using javascript (eg. popup javascript windows not working etc)
I don't employ any popup stoppers or similar
Can someone help me uninstall or update the javascript component in WinXP to help me get over these errors ?

Sonic - I am! In fact I've tried various different versions.
Although, aren't I right in saying javascript is actually different to java?
Right now I have Sun Java installed
I have latest Netscape Navigator not working with "JAVASCRIPT"
I have latest IE6 SP2 not working with "JAVASCRIPT"
I have latest Opera not working with "JAVASCRIPT"
Specifically, the problem arrises when a page is trying to do a MM_open_brwindow - open a pop window with some stuff in it. Its not the actual code on the page cos I can open the pages no problem using browsers at work - it seems my javascript component on my home machine is somehow knackered
Like I said, this problem is surfacing regardless of what browser I'm usng and its starting to really hamper my surfing.
Anyone explain this ?
Is there a common javascript component in winxp that all browsers rely on and how do I update it / reinstall it so it works properly!

Have you gone into the options on your browser and specifically told it to use Sun Java instead of MS Java
Im not 100% sure on the Java & Javascript relationship
Incidentally which versions of Java have you tried, I have personally found 1.41 to be the most stable for a variety of apps
Also have you tried doing a full re-install of IE6 ? I know you cant remove it from XP, but you should be able to do a full re-install

SCOSaltire, check security - isn't that
Sonic, I'm on IE6SP2 - where do I tell it to use Sun over MS Java ?
I'm running 1.41 Sun Java right now.
Haven't reinstalled IE6 cos all the other browsers have the same problem (netscape, opera, etc) but may give it a go

Hmm I might be thinking of Microsoft VM
Its in Tools/Options/Advanced
worth a try tho
have you enabled the debugger too (under the same options)

set everything back to DEFAULT
Question: Does every browser you install into WinXP (eg. Opera, IE6, Netscape) use a common Javascript component ?
This seems the case to me cos all my browsers are behaving the same way when confronted with javascript webpages!

i see.. sorry..
not sure then... preferences --advanced -- scripts & plugins in netscape?
Also netscape has its own pop-up blocker/manager.
Since the're all affected, u're not running a firewall/anti-virus or something with script blocking etc?
