    Could just be a bad JavaScript. As in the author cannot code for pants. Or else you may have it turned off. Check in Internet Explorer's options.

    Did I mention firefox?

    Do you not read up on any software before you install it? You can easilly skin firefox to have it look whatever way you want. Besides then there's tabbed browsing so your not opening hundreds of different windows too... Not to mention the added Spyware protection etc etc etc

    I would list all the perks but I frankly just couldn't be arsed...

    I like firefox too, but IE still has 90% plus market share as far as I know and so you want your pages to work perfectly in the browser that most people are going to use to view your page. An idiot would test them only in firefox

    I'm not talking about any website in particular. I'm just saying that while IE has major problems and firefox is arguably a better browser, most people still use IE and so any site should render properly in it, be you a firefox evangalist or not.

    I'm not sur what the error says exactly but they just wont work...i reset the IE setting to the original setting and still no change..I think it jus says something like javascript:void..not sure though.

    nothing happens when i click on the javascript links anyways.


    I also find the hole interface design of the FireFox web browser confusing compared to to IE..maybe you is just against Microsoft.

    Your cryptic clues to your problem (whatever it might be!) are not going to help anyone help ya. Could you post the html page or a link if it's online?
    The "void" may refer to you using a variable that you haven't given any value to. What is the javascript trying to achieve? Javascript links? Are you using the onClick method? There are options in IE like showing the javascript error messages. Go to Tools->Internet Options... and unclick the disable script debugging box in the Advanced tab. Google your error messages. Good Luck!

    I kept getting this problem with www.photobox.ie Java uploader it would never run in either IE or Firefox, I then downloaded the Latest Java run time environment I think 2.0 and the java applet started working in Firefox but not in IE; IE would ask me permission to run the applet but would never load it.

    Anyway I found using Firefox was fine and then I found that when java was running if I changed one of the settings, can't remember exactly but it was by right clicking on the java icon in the system tray and under internet settings, there was an option to force IE to use Java 2 rather than its default setting.

    This seemed to fix it.

    ah, you are both talking about Java Applets, not Javascript, they are completely different languages.

    I bet your seeing a grey box instead of the applet and and the "void" error message in the status bar. The applet has been compiled for an earlier or later version of the jre. Maybe upgrade like the last poster said. I got this error when I was writing an applets myself recently,applet works in firefox on linux but not in IE, very annoying!! You can give options when your compiling to support older versions, but thats not your problem.
