What is the actual site?

If you have a PopUp Blocker installed or JavaScript turned off, that
may be your problem.

I just talked to a tech with Microsoft support. He thinks I need to
reinstall Internet Explorer. It doesn't matter what the site is, but
this one is on the MarthaStewart.com site.  Just about every web site
has something that doesn't work. I wanted to see a label on
Vitaminshoppe.com and nothing happened when I click the button. I
don't get error messages, except in the destination bar, the one I
sent you,..and a couple of times "error on page." It does refer to
javascript and windowPop,..and I've done everything I can to enable
everything. I tried "System restore several times." I restored it back
to Oct 31 when I didn't have this problem but I still have it!

It happens on many web pages. I'm not trying to enter the code in the
URL portion of my browser. That code is just one that I read on my
destination bar at the bottom of the web site. I think it has
something to do with javascript or popups but I can't figure out how
to enable what ever is stopping the popup.I'm looking at my browser
tool bar right now and I have site popups allowed for all sites and I
still can't access certain parts of a web page. I don't get any error
message except in the destination bar. As soon as I take the cursor
off of the button,..that disapears. To get that code I had to have the
cursor on the disabled button and write the code down.

javascript:windowPop('/page.jhtml?type=learn-cat&id=cat17177&rsc=sc3763','617,430,1,0,1');

This is very strange syntax..  Here is the correct syntax:

window.open('<url>', '<title>',
'toolbar,menubar,scrollbars,resizable,directories,location,copyhistory,fullscreen,width=<width>,height=<height>');

Of course, all of the stuff before width=<width> and height=<height>
is optional.  You would probably want something like this:

javascript:window.open('/page.jhtml?type=learn-cat&id=cat17177&rsc=sc3763','resizable,width=617,height=430');

Of course, windowPop could be a user defined function.. if it is, I'd
like to see it :)

The syntax is exactly as I copied it. I don't know what it means.

This is the page you want :

http://www.marthastewart.com/page.jhtml?type=learn-cat&id=cat17177&rsc=sc3763

If you are stating you can not add the code you posted into the URL
portion of your browser, and have it work - that would be the expected
result. If you are trying to add a link to your shortcuts, and it
gives you javascript code, then there is either an error on the page,
or the page generates the pop-up with javascript. You could also have
javascript support turned off.

Take a look at this page if your IE version is 5+ :

I tried resetting the security settings. They were set at medium and I
reset them to low.
