Am not sure if this falls into the area of Operating Systems, or not, but: There are times when I click on something (to enlarge/get Closeup), for example, and nothing happens. I noticed that at bottom of screen it now says: javascript and the words for whatever I was trying to accomplish. I never know when it's going to happen. Do you have any suggestions for fixing this? |

There is no answer at this time. |

You are speaking to someone who knows nothing; but, since I haven't changed anything, I'll have to say "no" to your question. |

Many browsers, including IE(Internet Explorer), will display the action if you click on a link. Sometimes the action is to call a javascript function, which why you see "javascript(...)" on the status bar at the bottom of the browser. There are numerous reasons as to why you may not notice anything happening after clicking, such as: -bad javascript that breaks -pop-up window that you block with some pop-up window blocker software -something on the page internally changed that you didn't notice because it's not a visible change. There is no way to fix this, as this is something that occurs due to the authoring of the web page, not the fact that you are clicking on something. If it's really annoying you, you can always customize your browser to not show the status bar. In IE you do this by: -Click on view from top menu -Make sure "Status Bar" is not checked |

Is Javascript a program that can be added? Right now we have a program called Java 2 Runtime Environment Standard Edition v1.3.1_2. Should we remove it? Can a Javascript be added? |

Javascript is not a program. Javascript is a pshydo computer programming language used by web developers to manipulate the way that a web page behaves in a browser. For example, when filing out a form on the web, frequently Javascript is used to check the users input to make sure that it fits some format (zip code is all numbers and totals 5 in length, etc...) Javascript is similar in syntax to Java, and the two are frequently confussed. Java is a programming lanugage; it can be "compiled"vto create executable program. Javascript can not do this. The Java 2 Runtime Environment Standard Edition v1.3.1_2 that you have on your computer is something you need to run Java programs. It is not in itself dangerous, however it does enable your computer the ability to run Java applications. If you are worried about programs inadvertently running on your computer, you may want to remove the Java 2 Runtime Environment Standard Edition v1.3.1_2 as this will prevent Java based programs from running. |
