Default Javascript is enabled but it does not work.

I have Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 11. I have enabled Javascript but it
does not work. There are several references to it in the Registry. Can you
help.

Because I get reminded that it does not work. Is there a definite test so
that I am sure that it does not work? Thanks.

Yes there is a definite test. Put this code in a plain text file and
then save it as "emrys.html". Then double click on the file and open it
in a browser. Click on the button where it says to show you your Date
and Time. It you don't get the date & time then you know "IT DEFINITELY
DOESN'T WORK".

And turn off the avaast spam?

Using another browser to test things like this can be helpful.

Thinking about another browser rather than IE is a good thing to do.
In my opinion, IE is among the worst of available browsers. I
recommend FireFox.

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).

Here are some test sites:

https://www.whatismybrowser.com/dete...script-enabled

http://www.cyscape.com/showbrow.aspx?bhcp=1
(check JavascriptEnabled value)

I did the test on your second URL and this is what I got:

I now found that for some reason, very recently, my active scripting was
disabled and I enabled it and also set my security to medium. I then ran
your 'check' URL again and this is what I got:
http://www.cyscape.com/showbrow.aspx?doJvmd=1&bhcp=1

Giving me back the same URL that I gave you does NOT SHOW what you *see*
in your web browser! Save a screenshot, upload to a photo site, and
give the URL to *that* screenshot.

From your reply, no one has any clue what /you/ "got". You could
describe here in text what you "got" but a picture is worth a thousand
words, sometimes a lot more.

Why couldn't you just say if the test site said Javascript was enabled
or not?

The latter site shows JavaScript as working, I think.
