Disable Javascript in Internet Explorer

I know this isn't a javascript forum but I found out how to do this and thought you might like to know. All other posts I've seen regarding this say you can't do it in IE. If nothing else, I hope this proves the point that web developers should not rely on js to implement significant portions of their sites.
Click Tools, then click on Internet Options.
Click the Security tab.
Click the Custom Level button.
Scroll to the Scripting section. Under Active scripting, click Disable.
Click OK button.
Finally, we can disable popup ads in IE.

this is the wrong forum to post such an issue. Maybe but I've seen many threads that misrepresent this issue so I think it's helpful.
and may
i know under what under conditions should we disable
JS. a majarity of the websites uses JS and we cannot
disable them .such as yahoo which use javascript.I'm not saying you "should" disable javascript but it's very handy when you get irritating popup ads on your screen.

  • Flash, Javascript and Internet Explorer

    This is driving me nuts...!!!!!! It works in Firefox but not
    Internet
    Explorer.
    I've got a load of gifs on a page that I want to swap from a
    Flash movie
    using a loop.
    This is the Javascript I'm using:
    function blankAll(x){
    document[x].src="images/splash-link-arrow.gif";
    And I'm calling it in Flash using the following action
    script:
    function blankOut(){
    for(x = 1; x <= _root.allBranches.length; x++){
    getURL("javascript:blankAll('"+ _root.allBranches[x-1]
    +"')");
    allBranches being an array containing a list of the gif names
    to swap.
    Like I say, in Firefox this works like a dream, but in
    Internet Explorer it
    only swaps the very last gif on the list........ WHY?
    Can anybody help please?
    Big thanks in advance,
    @ndyB

    Sorry Dan,
    This has got nothing to do with the question I asked.
    I know about the Microsoft "patch" and have already allowed
    for it.

  • Applets, JavaScript and Internet Explorer

    Hey guys
    Is there any way that an applet can call javascript functions in Internet Explorer? I know it's possible in Netscape, but I've yet to come across a viable solution for Internet Explorer.
    I've got an HTML page and I want the applet to be able to change the content of a certain part of the page (a marquee) every so often. It doesn't need to use a JavaScript call if you can think of a better solution, but that's the only way that I've tried so far.
    A big thanks to anyone out there who can help me
    Ryen

    There is an easy way to change HTML code from JavaScript by calling an applet, which is not exactly what you want, but is much more simplier.
    Define your applet as scriptable=true.
    Within JavaScript call the method that knows the information you want to print and make it return as a String.
    For example:
    // JavaScript
    View.innerText = myApplet.giveMeMore(); // return a string.
    // The HTML View
    <div id="View"></div>
    You can see something like that with an Swing Applet in http://www.amicworld.com by following XmlBroker.

  • Acrobat Reader XI addon gets disabled periodically in Internet Explorer within Windows domain

    We have a followig problem that happens on new workstations with Windows 7 x64 and Acrobat Reader XI only.
    Every few days (cca 3-30) the following key is automatically added to registry:
    HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Settings\{CA8A9780-280D-11CF-A24D-444553540000}
    This key has the effect that Acrobat Reader XI gets disabled in Internet Explorer add-ons. So when user opens PDF in IE (or SAP or other Windows software using IE), it is not opened within IE but in a new separate window.
    Can you please suggest what can be the reason for this, like group policy etc.?

    From here:
    http://serverfault.com/a/666205/229754
    I quote:
    Assuming you have installed
    Microsoft Window 7+ / Server 2008 R2+
    Microsoft Internet Explorer 11+ (IE)
    Adobe PDF Reader 11+ (Reader)
    Microsoft System Center Endpoint Protection / Microsoft Malware Protection (MalwareProtection)
      the following seems to happen here: 
    MalwareProtection registers a component named Microsoft Antimalware IOfficeAntiVirus implementation (MpOAv) for Extension Validation with IE.
    IExtensionValidation interface
    For Internet Explorer 11, specifies an interface the anti-malware vendors can implement. Vendors that register support for this interface may be called by IE11 to validate that an ActiveX control is safe to instantiate.
    MpOAv registers as a CLSID of {2781761E-28E1-4109-99FE-B9D127C57AFE}.
    [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extension Validation\{2781761E-28E1-4109-99FE-B9D127C57AFE}] [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extension Validation\{2781761E-28E1-4109-99FE-B9D127C57AFE}]
    You can inspect the detailed properties of MpOAv in the registry. The associated DLL usually resides at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Security Client\MpOAv.dll
    [HKCR\CLSID\{2781761E-28E1-4109-99FE-B9D127C57AFE}] [HKCR\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{2781761E-28E1-4109-99FE-B9D127C57AFE}]
    Now everytime IE wants to run an ActiveX control, the registered MpOAv is being called before that and sometimes misbehaves or simply thinks that the Reader ActiveX control is not safe. I have no idea what its behavior really depends on.
    This all results in IE (iexplore.exe) writing 2 keys to the registry: The CLSIDs of MpOAv {2781761E-28E1-4109-99FE-B9D127C57AFE} and Reader {CA8A9780-280D-11CF-A24D-444553540000}.
    [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Settings\{2781761E-28E1-4109-99FE-B9D127C57AFE}] [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Settings\{CA8A9780-280D-11CF-A24D-444553540000}]
    From this point on IE will not run the Reader ActiveX control until someone manually removes its CLSID from there. This is the observed problem.
    Will Adobe offer some solution to this issue???
    I confirm the existence of metioned registry keys, looks promising! –  Vojtěch Dohnal 11 mins ago    
    But I fear that removing MpOAv from validation extensions completely will result in less secure browsing for users. –  Vojtěch Dohnal just now   edit

  • How to solve Adobe Reader 8 and Internet Explorer (IE) setting set to Download Disable

    Anyone can help me with this issue. Due to our company policy, Download is disable in the Internet Explorer (IE). With Adobe Reader 4/5/6, we are able to open and view the pdf on the IE. But with Adobe Reader 7/8, it require IE download enable before open the pdf file.

    Yes, I agree that PDF always downloaded to IE Temp folder. But with IE download disabled and using either Acrobat Reader 6, we can open online PDF files. With with the same setting as above, but now using Adobe Reader 7 or 8, we would get the message "The current security setting does not allow for the files to be downloaded".
    Anybody know of any workaround solution or something changed with Adobe Reader 7 or higher?
    Thanks.

  • What JVM is being used in my Internet Explorer ?

    I have a web-bases/java-bases application that does not work when JRE 1.4 is active.
    I disable it for Internet Explorer in the Java Plug-In Console on the Browser tab and then things work fine.
    How do I know what JVM is being used then ?
    Some configuration info :
    WinME, IE 6.0, JRE 1.4

    When you install JRE1.4.0, it asks if you want to link the JRE to IE and Netscape 6...if you answered yes, what it does is to create and automatically select a new option box in IE (see Tools-->Internet Options-->Advanced-->Java Sun-->Use JRE1.4.0...) -- if you elected not to link the JRE, the option box is not created.
    Without the new option box, IE works like this:
    1) Unless the applet has been converted with the HTMLConverter that comes with your SDK, IE will run the applet with its native JVM which is version 1.1.5.
    2) If the HTML file has been converted, IE will check to see what version of the JRE is required and what is already on the system. If a different JRE is required, it will prompt the user to download the required JRE and then run the applet -- if the user doesn't want to do the download, the applet will simply fail to start.
    Hope this helps!

    Hi,
    I am afraid there is no options through registry/group policy to turn off the keyboard shortcut keys in IE. As they are built-in and can't be controlled by a registry or group policy.
    Besides, see if the following threads could help:

  • Disabling FORWARD and BACK Button of Internet Explorer thru JavaScript....

    Hello everybody,
    Can anyone tell me how to disable the FORWARD and BACK Button of Internet Explorer through JavaScript.......If possible give me the code snippet.....

    You can not do this in JavaScript.
    However, if you set the right response headers in the response IE will disable them:
    response.setHeader("Pragma","no-cache");
    response.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-store");
    response.setHeader("Expires","0");
    would do the trick.

  • Disable Function Key F3 in Internet Explorer

    I would like to disable function keys F1 and F3 while playing
    my flash movie in internet explorer. I am using these keys within
    Flash to do some actions.
    I got the script working for Function Key F1 using the
    following script
    <script language="javascript">
    document.onhelp = function() {return(false);}
    window.onhelp = function() {return(false);}
    </script>
    But unable to make it to work for function key F3.
    Thanks in advance,
    Desmond

    Hi des_shun, I have workaround for this issue.
    First thing we have to do is disable keyboard event for F3 key on HTML document so that even if focus is on html document, default Search functionality will not popup. Next thing is, flash must contain KeyboardEvent listener for keyboard response. This is where we will keep our custom F3 functionality. This setting works well on Chrome & FireFox.
    Now IE thing.
    The prolem with IE is that if any one of F3, F5, F6,F7 & F11 key is pressed, when the focus is on flash movie it directly executes the default browser functions like searching, refreshing etc never allowing flash to execute its keyeventlistener. But if focus is on document body, then F3 and other keys work fine.
    Here is the catch.
    All we have to do is whenever focus is shifted to flash, we should revert that focus to document body.
    Here is how we can do this.
    Capture the MouseClick event in your flash movie. Then in this mouseclick event handler, call  javascript function to change focus to document again. Below is the sample code.
    //Flash Code
    stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,mClick);
    function mClick(event:MouseEvent)
              ExternalInterface.call("changeFocus");
    // Javascript Code
    <script type="text/javascript"</script>
              function changeFocus()
                             document.body.focus();
        </script>
    Thats it!

  • How to automatically disable Java Plug-in in Internet Explorer

    I was wondering if it was possible to automatically disable/enable the Java Plug-in in Internet Explorer 6 Advanced Options (using JavaScript or script code in the html page for instance)...
    Any clues????

    You can use a command line parameter when intalling the SUN plugin to automatically enable it for IE: IEXPLORER=1.
    I'm not sure how to supply command line parameters if you aren't running the instal from the command line though....

  • Disabling of FORWARD and BACK Button of Internet Explorer.......

    Hello everybody,
    Can anyone tell me how to disable the FORWARD and BACK Button of Internet Explorer through JavaScript.......If possible give me the code snippet.....

    Hi
    I I tell you the answer, I suppose it means you'll be able to spend less time on JavaScript and more time on Java, so here goes:
    Open your page in a new window using window.open(...). This JavaScript takes lots of parameters, such as the page you want to display in the window, as well as settings for hiding the toolbar (which includes the forward/back buttons).
    Do a search on the net for window.open for full syntax. I think you can modify the properties of the current window if you want to stay in the same window, but can't remember the syntax.
    Note you can also disable the right mouse button by defining the following function:
    <SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
    <!--
    var message="Right-click disabled!";
    function click(e) {
    if (document.all) {
    if (event.button==2||event.button==3) {
    alert(message);
    return false;
    if (document.layers) {
    if (e.which == 3) {
    alert(message);
    return false;
    if (document.layers) {
    document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
    document.onmousedown=click;
    // -->
    </SCRIPT>
    I don't know how to stop the user from pressing 'Backspace' unless you use Java to monitor the navigation.
    Hope this helps

  • Javascript problem with Internet Explorer 6

    Hi together
    I have a problem with IE6 on a JSP page. I want to disable a HTML button calls
    'fehlerdetails' if one of radiobutton list has a value "FIID NOK".
    This Java script sample below is running with Netscape 7.0 but Internet Explorer get no objects back.
    Has everyone a idea how can I read a value from list:
    document.GetFailedPostingPositionListW3InBean.checked[i]
    with Internet Explorer 6??
    HTML Radiobutton (Struts):
    <html:radio styleClass="radioButton" name="GetFailedPostingPositionListW3InBean" onclick="checkAccountNr();" property="checked" value="<%= String.valueOf(j) %>">
    </html:radio>
    HTML Button:
    <td><input class='pushbuttonlarge' type="button" value="fehlerdetails" onClick="document.GetFailedPostingPositionListW3InBean.submit();" name="fehlerdetails"/></td>
    Javascript:
    function checkAccountNr() {
         document.GetFailedPostingPositionListW3InBean.fehlerdetails.disabled = false;
         var radioButtons = document.GetFailedPostingPositionListW3InBean.checked;     
         if(document.GetFailedPostingPositionListW3InBean.checked > 0) {     
              for(i=0; i < radioButtons.length; i++) {
                   if(radioButtons.checked) {
                        radioButtonAccountNr = radioButtons[i].AccountNr;
                        radioButtonFiidText     = radioButtons[i].FiidText;
                        if (radioButtonAccountNr == "ABACUS-NR NOK" || radioButtonFiidText == "FIID NOK") {
                             document.GetFailedPostingPositionListW3InBean.fehlerdetails.disabled = true;                                                  
    Thank you very much for you help.
    Cheers Robert

    first, this is a Java forum, not Javascript, and aside from the first 4 letters, the two have nothing in common.
    Second.. if there's more then 1 radio button named 'GetFailedPostingPositionListW3InBean', this:
    var radioButtons = document.GetFailedPostingPositionListW3InBean.checked;
    will be an error.
    var radioButtons = document.GetFailedPostingPositionListW3InBean;      
    for(x=0; x < radioButtons.length; x++) {
       if(radioButtons[x].checked) {
          ... check the value and disable
    }

  • Using Quicken to manage a bank account, I get an error message from the bank that cookies and javascript must be enabled, but I don't get that message when I connect with Internet Explorer.

    Firefox allows me to get the bank home page through Quicken. But when I try to login, the error message appears saying "cookies and javascript" must be enabled. I have Java on my system, but in Firefox under "tools/options/ I don't find any way to "enable" javascript. I have enabled "cookies".
    I have no problem logging in at the bank site using Internet Explorer, but to use it, I have to designate it as the "default browser" before connecting through Quicken. I'd rather keep Firefox as the default.
    A bank tech representative was unable to find any commands in Firefox that would deal with this problem, although she clearly had manuals for both Internet Explorer and Firefox. So she concluded that I would have to use Explorer for this operation, since it allowed control of security level settings. She said that in Explorer, security level should be set to medium.
    Is there some similar control in Firefox?

    Firefox uses the same "security level" setting that is set in IE.
