Sometimes when I am on a website and I click say on a picture I get on the left hand corner of my screen javascript error. What does that mean and what can be done to fix it?

Thanks!

maybe you need an update marianna...

NO kidding lol....gotta save for a new one...this computer of mine is so ancient. I was able to get to these pictures a month ago and now I cannot. Just not sure why. I click on the picture which is small and I get that error. I am like ahhhhhhh!!!!!

Your browser might need Java, so go here, http://java.com & click on FREE JAVA DOWNLOAD.

Let me know if it works :)

^marianna that's the kind of upgrade i meant...upgrading to the latest java software :)

Thanks guys. :D I am getting ready to go out so will do this tomorrow.

Yeah if you get this "javascript error" then the Java update won't help. Anyhow, I can only see the problem to be either one of these:

1. Your web-browser (internet explorer, netscape...etc) might need an update to be able to interpret the javascript used on the website. I didn't mention Mozilla Firefox because that web-browser is relatively new. Either way, update your web-browser, or even better, download and start using FireFox (www.firefox.com).

2. The website you get this error from, specially if its only that one website, might have an error within it and it might not have to do anything with your computer. Maybe you can share the link so we could see if the website itself has some issues.

These are the only to reasons that make sense to me, let me know how it goes :)

You are right Sting, the Java though downloaded did not help. Unfortnately not able to send website. I will take a look at firefox. Never heard of it.

Ok...downloaded firefox and installed the program. Went to my troubling website and it.....WORKED!!!!!!!!!!

Million thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Welcome marianna, you basically needed to update your internet explorer I suppose! And I wonder why can't you share the website ;)?

Firefox is tons faster than what I had through my basic software originating with my OS. I noticed a vast vast difference....I feel spoiled now. :)

Welcome to the world of Firefox marianna :D!

I have Java but these Muscat security market site http://www.msm.gov.om/Default.aspx and http://www.msm.gov.om/mw/marketwatch.aspx do not diplay all the Prices in Firefox. So Do I need any other add on? Please help

Sometimes the website isn't designed to work with Firefox, so you might face such thing.

As you can see, both those websites were designed using ASP.NET (.aspx extension), and ASP.NET is a Microsoft technology, Firefox isn't.

Firefox interprets HTML, XHTML, JavaScript and all other web technologies based on the agreed upon standards, Microsoft sometimes doesn't.

So if you can run those pages using Internet Explorer (Microsoft Browser), and no Firefox, then there isn't anything wrong with Firefox, but the website itself as it doesn't comply with the standards.
