Javascript variables not defined.

I am having trouble running Javascript from web sites. In the Error Console I see messages such as “gFld is not defined” and “initializeDocument is not defined”, and the page does not display correctly. I get this behaviour in both Firefox 4 and IE8, and have checked that Javascript is enabled in both, so I believe it is a Java-related problem and not a browser problem. I also get the same behaviour with Firefox in safe mode (all add-ons disabled). I have deleted and reinstalled the current JRE 1.6.0.24, but it made no difference. On another computer I can access the same sites correctly with no errors, so the actual scripts are OK. There is evidently something incorrect or missing in my computer which is preventing variables in the script from being defined??

The OS on both computers is XP SP3, running the same browsers and JRE. Any ideas please?

What did you use to delete the JREs? Check this link out on how to remove Java from your computer.

Also, check out this Java link for instructions on how to remove Java installations.

Javascript and Java are not related. If you are running into Javascript errors it is a problem with the web site. You should attempt to contact the web site owner.

Nothing to do with JRE.
Most likely would be some form of content blocking on your PC. One or more of the files the web page uses are not being loaded. Try disabling any Advert Blocking you have to verify.
