FAQ:

Two new security features in IIS6 may be involved. Or, you may have
something else unrelated to IIS.

IIS6 restricts which "static" content can be downloaded unexecuted -- like
..log, .css, .js, ..zip, txt, .html -- and you need to have a declared MIME
Type (which gives the correct Content-Type) to allow downloads.

IIS6 restricts which "dynamic" content can be executed -- like .asp, .aspx,
..exe, .dll, .pl, .php -- and you need to have a Web Service Extension for
the dynamic content's binary DLL/EXE in order to allow dynamic content
execution.

In other words, if your pages just run Javascript on the client-side, then
it probably has nothing to do with IIS6. If your pages run Javascript on the
server-side, like ASP, then you will need to first enable ASP in Web Service
Extension before any ASP page will run.
