Re: javascript wont execute

Don,

Im totally screwed.. All script blocking is turned off, and my internet
security level is set to 'Medium'. And still, whenever I slick an icon on a
site where the status bar shows a 'javascript' command trying to execute,
when I click on that icon, the status bar reads 'Done' and nothing has
happened! If i select to open it in a new window, it still doesnt execute.
I have AOL toolbar, and have popup blocking off.. Doesnt make any
difference, as I toggle it on and off for a given site.

Norton is disabled and virus protection is off.. MSConfig shows no resident
utilties running. What the hell is going on.. its very frustrating.
