Javascrip error, can't open new window

Lillie_Munchkin · 12-11-2004, 07:52 AM

When using IE, if I hit a link that's using Javascript to open a new window all I get is 'Error on page'. When using Mozilla Firefox this doesn't happen, however, some sites (Powergen) don't like me using MF, they want me to use IE. Has anyone else had this problem?

I've done all the usual checks, but can't for the life of me work it out!

Help

Welcome to TSF.

Try going into IE->Tools->Internet Options->Security tab->Custom Level button and scroll all the way down to Scripting. Make sure all three are Enabled.

Thanks, but they were all enabled and still getting the same problem. It's almost like the attempt is made to open the new window - it flashes up momentarily - but just doesn't quite get there!

I take it you've made sure your Java is all enabled? (Internet Options, Advanced tab, either under Microsoft VM or Sun JRE) otherwise, maybe a corrupt JVM?
