hi, hmm! i think i'm gonna have to just use firefox. turning scripting off 
brings back some of the links taht weren't showing as links, but the majority 
of them just disappear entirely! smile. and other links still show as links, 
but pressing enter on them activates links in a totally different area of the 
page. oh why can't  folks leave perfectly functioning websites alone! smile.

  Kevin - internet explorer, tools, options, security tab, custom level button, 
opens up a settings tree view, with all top level items closed the 2nd from the 
bottom is scripting, right arrow to open, the top item is active scripting 
which is what your after, it has 3 settings, on, off, or prompt.  I think with 
the quantity of pages that use javascript you'd find prompt very annoying to 
try switching to off but remember where the setting is as you'll most likely 
want it back on for many sites which are dependant on it and will simply fail 
to load if they detect you have js disabled.

  hi all, if i go to:
  www.soccermanager.com

  using IE6, a lot of the links don't show up in jfw7 as links. i emailed the 
people who run the site and i got the following response:
  Hi Kevin
  To fix this you will need to disable the javascript on your web-browser.
  If you are using Firefox you will need to go to - Tools -> Options ->
  Content ( and then untick the javascipt box)
  We are sorry for any inconvenience caused
  I hope this helps.


  although i don't use firefox much, i do have it, so i followed the 
instructions and it worked fine. but how do i do the same in internet explorer?
