Javascript Explorer 8 Windows XP

ecchi · 2014-03-11, 04:50 AM

OK this is driving me mad. My main machine is Windows XP with Explorer 8. It runs simple Javascript code and most Flash sites, however occasionally, mostly on Flash sites, I get a message telling me Javascript is disabled so my browser cannot access this site. I have tried changing every setting I can think of that may be causing this and updated everything I can think of, nothing works.

It is not a disaster because if I desperately need to visit such a site, I can boot up my Vista PC, but it is a pain because I use the XP machine 99% of the time (mostly because it is the lowest spec I expect my surfers to be using but also because I don't really like the way Vista runs).

Does anyone know if there is a setting I have not yet found that will allow me to run all Javascript on the computer, or an update I need to install? Google has not helped me, it only suggests things I have already tried.

Thanks.

Probably ie8 may be lacking something in the dom, or js engine.

My 2 cents on that.

Sounds to me like there's a problem between the keyboard & the chair.

Normally I make a point of thanking people who make suggestions. But in G's case I think I'll go with the more succinct "Fuck You".

You have to admit that was funny...

His suggestion seems simply enough. Replace user and press any key.

Here i a suggestion: Get an Apple.

Red apples are better.

Yeah but a very old line. I guess G just ain't bright enough to come up with something original.

Yeah I used an Apple once. Still not got over that horrible experience. They stole a perfectly good idea from Commodore (GUI) and wrecked it.
