If you are experiencing dead links in IE 6.0; & are having JavaScript problems in general…including entire websites that do not function correctly…or…in some cases…can not be accessed at all…
…AND…
…you are also running Norton Personal Firewall or Norton Internet Security…
…well, then this post just may be for you!
Here’s how I solved my problem (I have NPF 2002…not sure about the settings in NIS, but they must be similar:
Go to: Options > Advanced Options > Active Content. Under “Script”, there are three options:
“Allow All Script To Execute”
“Block Script Pop-ups Only”
“Block All Script.”
For some reason, “Block Script Pop-ups Only” was selected in mine. I changed the selection to “Allow All Script To Execute”; & the problem went away. Hope
this helps someone…anyone [In one of my newsgroups (IE 6.0), the posts are filled with users having JavaScript problems.] AND…as an aside…I had not been able to access *this* forum the entire time I had my JavaScript problem (3 months). Glad to be back (I’m sure the Webmaster was sick of hearing from me!)
