152962 2003-06-16 09:49:00 I am unable to access some sites or their functions on IE6. I suspect it is a Java problem. I have enabled every java function I can see in the Tools area, but no go. The problem manifests itself when I try to link to some links on a page, ie the weather map on the Ihug home page. It refuses to operate. What is a poor boy to do????? pburt (1226)

152964 2003-06-16 10:21:00 Hi pburt. While hovering over the ihug weather map, I see down in my status bar the text javascript:popper(blabla etc). I'm not too up on Javascript but I do know Java and Javascript are 2 different animals. I have tweeked (read that as 'screwed-around-with') my IE6 and internet connection settings up the yingyang, so I have no idea what IE6's default settings are, but I am able to view ihug's pop-up weather map with the following settings. May I suggest before you change any of these things, that you just write down how it was beforehand.
Here's what I'm currently using -
In IE6, Tools, Internet Options,Security tab, click on the Internet icon and click the button, Custom Level...
Way down near the bottom under the heading Scripting, I have Active Scripting set to Enable, Allow paste operations via script, set to Prompt, and Scripting of Java applets, set to Enable.
Good Luck, Morri

What web browser are you using.

If IE do this for a start.
In Internet Explorer go to Tools\Internet Options

1/ On the General tab press "Delete Files" then tick "Delete All Offline
Content" then press "OK". Now press "Delete Cookies" then "OK".
2/ On the Security tab press "Default Level" then press "Apply"
3/ On the Privacy tab (IE6 only) press "Default" then press "Apply"
4/ On the Advanced tab press "Restore Defaults" then press "Apply" then "OK".
