CLOSE IE8, or rather to be on the safe side just close all programs before you proceed.

NOW
GO TO START > RUN
TYPE: CMD
TYPE: regsvr32 jscript.dll
ENTER
OPEN IE8 and try....

Have FUN :)

IE8 on Vista and Windows 7 has a new security restriction that is turned on by default for ALL zones on the security tab.
Go to Internet Options - Security Tab - Internet - click on the "Custom" button then scroll down to the Miscellaneous section. There are several entries that control the JavaScript engine in IE8. One of them is named "Allow script-initiated windows without size or position constraints". This item is disabled in all zones in IE8. That means that any link that calls a JavaScript function that opens a new window will not work if the size or location of the new window is not specified in the link. Change this item to "Enable" and those links will work again. You must do this for all zones.

Bottom line - the JavaScript Window.Open() function will not work if you don't specify at least the new window size or position in the function call.

Hi All...

Add this line at the top of U r page and run this page on internet explorer 8
It will allow javascript to work.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1- strict.dtd">
<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />
<meta name="robots" content="noodp,noydir" />

Ok Bye

I use Windows XP with IE 8. I have JavaScript enabled, but yet I've come across websites that don't seem to recognize it. The site will tell me I need to have JavaScript enabled, to do whatever, even though I already do. What's the problem?
