Not with a vague statement like that. What do you mean by "does not work"? Is it a particular site? It could be something else. For example, if cookies are disabled, some sites will not work.

They are NOT the same thing. I am definitely talking about Javascript. Java is shown in Control Panel 'Programs' but no mention of Javascript. I will research your other suggestions. Javascript won't be listed as its own program listing in Add/Remove Programs. Javascript engines are embedded in the web browsers, not separate from them. IE has its Javascript engine (Chakra), Firefox has its own (Spidermonkey), and Chrome has something different (V8). Because Javascript isn't external, it also isn't wholly compatible between different web browsers. What runs fine in one web browser may misbehave in another. Java is a separate interpreter and will show in the Add/Remove Programs listing. Could be the 72MB JRE (Java Runtime Environment) mostly for end users that run Java [web] apps or the 200MB JDK (Java Development Kit) mostly for programmers building the Java apps. Java was an ActiveX plug-in to IE, but Microsoft dumped ActiveX and plug-ins in their Edge. Google and Mozilla have dropped support for plug-ins. Flash is the last plug-in but it dies at the end of 2020 when Adobe drops it. Java is like COBOL: both linger on for decades in a slow death. If there are remnant customers with deep-enough pockets than anything stays alive. Do you really do any Java programming? Still visiting old game sites that require Java? Due to the security issues with Java, it was discontinued bundling with web browsers a long time ago. |

How about you give us a URL of a site's page you think uses Javascript but the page "does not work"? Could be the site you're visiting simply refuses to work with an antiquated web browser, like IE (any version).
