Browser Says I do not have JavaScript Enabled?

[Zfactor]

When I go to candystand.com and try to play some of the games there it tells me that I do not have javascript enabled. I have checked this in BOTH FireFox and IE, and have verified that JavaScript is enabled. Yet it persists to tell me that I do not have it enabled and none of the javascript buttons and commands work on that page. I also get errors in my javascript console.

The thing is that the people I talk to online have no problem playing these games... I dont understand what the problem is and I am at wits end.

Try a reinstall. A new version came out recently anyways.

Any luck? You can also try removing MSJava and just using Sun.

To do this:

Start > Run and paste the following into the run box RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection java.inf,UnInstall

You will then be asked if you really want to remove the virtual machine and then reboot. At this point if a message is displayed to the effect of 'removing the jvm will prevent you being able to download files' this refers to files downloaded through java applets rather than regular file downloads. Although the VM has now been removed it has not removed all remnants of the VM's existence from your machine, if you wish you can remove the following without adverse effect.

Registry Keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Java VM

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\JAVA_VM (Key used for VM entry in IE Advanced Options)

System Folders and Files

C:\WINDOWS\System32\jview.exe

C:\WINDOWS\System32\wjview.exe

C:\WINDOWS\inf\java.pnf

C:\WINDOWS\java

(C:\Windows represents the drive and path of your windows install, %windir%)

The problem is not java, its javascript (they are different). Javascript is run in the browser by the browser, and you have to have it enabled in the browser to work. The problem is that I do have it enabled but the website keeps telling me that I do not.

thanks tho :(
