My IE6 runs Javascript1.3 but not Javascript1.2
My Windows Version is: Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp_sp2_rtm
040803-2158
My IE6 Version is: Version 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp-sp2_rtm 040803-2158
In the following html, if I change the 1.2 to 1.3 it works ( I get the
popup hello..)

I was experiencing difficulties installing the Java 2 Plugin for
applets and I may have deleted some registry keys containing the word
"Java". This is when I noticed that JavaScript1.2 was broken in IE6.
In trying to solve the problem, I uninstalled, then reinstalled WinXP
Service Pack 2, then did Windows Update. It did not fix it. I also
removed registry keys containing "internet explorer" and tried
deleting the "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer" directory so I could
run ie6setup.exe . The contents of "c:\Program Files\Internet
Explorer" is listed herein.
Does anyone have any advice as to how to reinstall IE6 to get the
registry keys back to original state? It just will not run
JavaScript1.2 . The HTML above does not even generate a JavaScript
error when script debugging is checked, it just seems to be ignored..
I found a web-site that reveals browser capabilities and it show that
my IE6 supports JavaScript1.3 , but isn't 1.2 downward compatible?
Prior to this, it was working with SP2 before I reinstalled.. My gut
feeling is that I disturbed the registry..
Any help is greatly appreciated!
