    Javascript is not the same as Java.
    You should check the security settings of your browser.

    Would you happen to be using the extension NoScript for Firefox?

    Re: Java sun?

    The Java Runtime environment (JRE) is a Sun Microsystems program that is usually installed on many PCs to handle things like aplets on web pages. The current version is 5.0 Update 8

    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/jre/install.html

    They also have program versions for those who want to create Java applications as well.

    I read from burger king that
    This site requires the Adobe Flash Player. Get Flash
    I downloaded the adobe flash player and installed but it still doesn't work?

    Re: Java sun?

    If you are still getting the error "JAVASCRIPT IS NOT AVAILABLE." (see image below), then it is probably your Internet Explorer settings causing the problem. As said above, Javascript is not Java. And that site does not use Java.

    One way to probably make it work would be to add bk.com to your IE trusted sites list via: IE's Tool menu > Internet Options... > Security tab > select the "Trusted sites" icon > then hit the "Sites..." button. Enter bk.com in the box and hit "Add". "OK" your way out. Close and restart your browser and try the site again.

    The trusted zone in IE by default has Active Scripting enabled. If you haven't changed those settings, then having bk.com in there should get you past the Javascript error.

    Java Script is not related to programs that use Flash. You should only have one Java program on your PC. If you ever replace the version, you should uninstall old versions BEFORE installing the new one. Otherwise, all versions will remain on the PC. Your problem is with the browser setting, not with the Flash or Java program.

    No it isn't, you are corrent. However, that webpage does use javascript and if it is disabled (yes, by browser settings), then you will get the error shown in the image above.

    A person can have a few different problems with that bk.com page. If javascript is not enabled in the person's browser settings, they get that javascript error. Once they enable javascript, the next likely error is that they don't have the current version on Adobe Flash installed. (The person above did have that problem, but installed that since, so that should be okay.) The next problem for "IE users only" is that Flash is implement via an ActiveX control, so just enabling active scripting alone in IE will not allow the page to load the flash animation if ActiveX controls are blocked. That's why I suggested using the IE trusted zone.

    And as everyone agrees, none of this has anything to do with SUN Java. That page doesn't use Java.

    Hi Guys,

    This thread contains reference to Flash, so I'll use that to ask the following:

    Adobe has FlashPlayer & Shockwave, do you use both, or need just one, for all the neat stuff on the web?

    Adobe Download Center - I cannot download (due to invisible yellow bar problem) these items, is there an alternative way to get Shock & Flash?

    One site said I was using ver. 6 of Flash, if I can download from an alternative location, do old Shock & Flash need un-installing?

    Adobe forum they do not respond, many other users complain of lack of response from them. Also Shock & Flash are not supported via phone or email support. Kind a like a "Catch 22" here.

    T&TC (Thanks & Take Care)

    The current Adobe Flash player program appears to be version 9. Some webpages update their code to be compatible with newer versions and then cause problems with those PCs that still have the old versions. Sort of annoying sometimes. :cautious:

However, I think the Mozilla Firefox browser is a better alternative to Internet Explorer. Just be aware that some webpages don't load properly with different browsers. It all depends on what type of code was used in constructing the webpage.

The Flash player was created with the Flash program while Shockwave was created with the Director program (multimedia applications). I am not sure what you mean by an invisible yellow bar? (If it is invisible, how do you know it is yellow? o_O o_O :blink: :p :rolleyes: :D ) The current version of Flash is version 9 and Shockwave it is version 10.1. It is always better to uninstall old versions before replacing them with newer ones. Did you try the CNET Download site? A lot of programs can be downloaded there or at TUCOWS.COM as well.

    About Flash Player I know it is part of XP now( IE version).
    I use Opera so I installed the flash plugin from their site.
    However I have no idea about ShockWave. How can I have it for Opera( are there separate versions for IE and Opear like Flash)?
    Can U mention some sites that use ShockWaev instead of Flash? I was thinking Flash can play ShockWave as well. On my PC I have entery for flash in add/ remove but none for shockwave.

    Thanks for help.

    I have seen Shockwave in use for generating animation videos on the Internet. Some are from actual films while others are computer generated.

    No, Flash and Shockwave are too different types of programs. The lack of a Shockwave entry on your program list means that you don't have it installed.

    Hi Ccsito,

    Thank you for your reply! I've seen the yellow bar, many moons ago, actually its correct name is 'information bar.' I believe the information bar has something to do with active x. I've done just everything short of format & reinstall, to get this to work properly. Some other sites I have problems with include PCpitstop, Creative Labs has this auto check & update driver, F-secure online scan, driver agent. c o m, etc. The most recent effort to overcome the yellow bar blues, was clean uninstall of ZA. See

    https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=147437, post #5 this contains some of the attempts to get the yellow bar back.

    I did try CNET download now, takes you to AdobeDownloadCenter, which requires the yellow bar & alternate download at CNET has no alternates.

    Thanks & Take Care

I think the Firefox browser was based on the Netscape framework, but that does not guarantee that they work identically. You can try and see if FF will be able to access a shockwave webpage. You can use other browsers on one computer.

    Not sure if these links would help or not. One link is for Flash version 8.

    Sorry, but I am not familiar with the yellow bar problem and hope that you find somehow to correct your system.
