If Javascript is not running correctly or not working altogether in your web browser or external program then you may want to (re)install it. First uninstall Java if it is already installed on your computer and then go to Sun Microsystems website and download the newest version of Java plugin.

It should automatically be running in the background. Make sure that you haven't accidentally removed the program altogether. If you have a driver restore disc, try using it.

If java Script isn't working, you may have a syntactical error. 'document.wite' is a syntactical error. You might for instance have introduced eternal loops, a semantic error. Finally your code may be pragmatically wrong. You get pragmatic errors if you don't know how Java Script expressions are used in practice.

The file got deleted. Or was damaged somehow. Usually you need to update your version of Java. You can do this from the internet. Just follow instrucions you find on the website and download the files to update it. Or instal updates in your computer as generally they come through automatically, then shutdown and restart system.

It's possible that you may have downloaded a virus while web browsing that blocks the script from operating, or more likely a corrupted file. Reinstall.

first check to make sure java script is even active. Higher security levels may disable jave script to protect your compute from malicious scripts. You may have also corrupted part of your memory so restarting might fix it. Otherwise download the most current version to get it working again.

Many things: Your spyware might be blocking it, your firewall might be blocking it, or spam filter, or fishing filter is blocking it, or it's corrupted or outdated, or MS updated Internet Explorer and it no longer is compatible, security settings are set too high, or you pop up blocker is blocking it... just to name a few.

Usually if your java script is not working then you need to correct it in your computer settings. If that does not work then use your right click and try to change it in your settings. You do not have something set right if Java is not working.
