Help. I can't get javascript to work on my computer at all. I've tried both Internet Explorer and Firefox but I either get messages saying that I need to enable it or install it, or the page just doesn't load. And I know that it isn't just the site I'm looking at because it's more than one site, and I checked to see whether it was working on different computers, which it is.
I have javascript enabled AND I have java installed, What am I meant to do??

Good luck
I tried reinstalling Firefox, but that did nothing except take up time.
If it is a virus could it have something to do with all of the dumb messages I get when logging on to my computer??

Well excuse me for not believing in there being a way to fix all my problems at once
Hey, relax, I was being facetious -- I wasn't trying to be snide.
I don't know for sure you have a virus but it does seem likely from what you are describing -- and I'm sorry if you do, it's a real pain sometimes.
I actually spent a week with my computer down recently since I kicked the power plug out while it was thinking about something that must have been important, since it wouldn't work after that -- I tried everything I could find, believe me. I finally had to reformat and rebuild it from scratch.
I would get a decent virus software and see what that can do, you might download one as a demo version and if it finds the problem then that would be a good one to buy for ongoing protection.
Good luck
Ok.
Ummmm I ran several virus/spyware scans over the the last couple of days, scanning every inch of my computer with Zonealarm. It found a handful of viruses and spyware threats, which have now been dealt with. And I stopped soon of the messages at log on by changing the settings on my computer so that they wouldn't run. But I'm still having problems with javascripts.
Is there anyway to fix it without reinstalling windows??
By the way, I tried reinstalling java but all it seems to have done is waste time.
Try to install another browser. Perhaps you should try opera and see how things will go!
Okay, I did some Googling about on your behalf and it seems that some people were experiencing a similar situation after installing MS Windows Updates on their computers.
If you might have installed updates prior to noticing JavaScript not working, you might roll-back those updates and see if that helps the situation any...
Best of luck
As far as I know I haven't installed any updates for Windows, and doubt I can as I have an illegal version of Windows installed on my computer.
I'll check whether there any updates to roll back though, and I'll try the different browser idea too.
I couldn't find any updates to roll back (hope I was looking in the right place), and i tried to download a different browser but i was unable to download it with my computer, i kept getting an error message saying 'object blocked' instead. Could this have to do with the javascript problems?
Ok. So I've been reading around about other peoples problems with web browsers and javascripts that are similar to mine and heard that booting up in safe mode with networking support sometimes fixes the problem. So I tried that, and now I can download stuff and view javascript webs in the safe mode. Any points as to where I'm meant to go from here?
Okay. So I've been thinking that maybe this has something to do with parts of old spyware that has been removed by zonealarm. Those hackers are after me again. Lol :D
So anyway, I went and downloaded HijackThis, cause I heard it was good for problems similar to this.
Here's the log for normal mode:

I'm not sure what half of this stuff means, but hopefully you guys do, or somebody does, and can point me to what I need to do to fix my problem.
Also there is a ftp folder that pops up when I login in normal mode, which used to pop up with an error message which I have so how managed to stop, but the folder still opens upon login.

I am having the same issue. Windows Vista, latest Avira Antivirus running looks good, but no javascript in any browser (error shown in IE8) no errors but just no output/interaction in FF and Chrome. At a loss...

What, if anything, happens?
Hi, I have a similar issue with my WinXP (SP3, Java 6.21, Symantec Endpoint Protection). I thought that JScript would not work at all because I do not get JScript popups like on this site for instance:
http://career.daimler.com/dhr/job.php?jid=069851
(sorry for german, but clicking on the links should open up a window with the job description)
This did work about 1 week ago in IE7, Chrome 5.0.357.126, Firefox portable 3.6.3 , OperaUSB 10.50. Your script though produces a popup window with "hello" in all of them. So, JavaScript is working - but not fully. However, since it is on all those browsers it still must be some kind of system level issue - not browser level.
Strange...
yes i cant get this to show either, i tried maxthon cloud browser, it works on others with jscript and embedded java, but this page used to show the options cycling, and just shows a blank page? dont know why?
http://militants-of-funk.tripod.com/funky/index.htm
AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH ALL MY BROWSERS WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE ACTUAL PROBLEM
Not helpful. Describe your issue clearly. Which AV software are you running? Do you get the popups as described above. Can you get a simple alert message to run. Have you enabled javascript on each browser? Is this a works machine, where a blanket policy turns off all JS? The list goes on...
it was currently working and all over a sudden it stopped working i have checked all the browsers and it is enabled. i get no popus on any thing even when i tried to run a simple code with jave one it just display the hello word it does not work
hpox, "does not work" is not a clear definition of a problem.
Did you open the developer console? Does it show any errors?
Only local page doesn't work or any page? Did you check internet security options?
@hpox
1.what were you doing before things started going south?
2.did you visit a site requesting you to install JAVA engine?
3.what is your current OS?
am using windows 8.1 and no i never visited any site was simply doin some simple java coding
Uninstall that damn wormhole
