How to Fix JavaScript Errors
If you get a scripting error message, the first thing you should do is close the window and try to load the web page again. If you get the same error on trying to load the page again, there can be a number of causes.
Internet connections can actually effect how well and if sites will load and run. With dial up or slower broadband and cable connections, more complex web pages may not run. This is due to the time taken for the site to download and the capability of the Internet connection.
Ensure that you have JavaScript installed in your browser and also make sure that it is an up-to-date version. You can find out if your browser runs Java by checking the following:
- Firefox – Tools > Options > Content, check the box Enable JavaScript
- Internet Explorer – Tools > Internet Options > Programs, click the Manage add-ons button and scroll down to make sure that JavaScript is enabled.
Finally, if none of this helps, there may be a problem with the code, and if you did not write the web page, then there is little that you can do, except contact the webmaster for the site and let them know.
