Javascript File Missing from MSIE 5.0

[dddave]

A friend has Windows 95, running Internet Explorer 5.00.2919.6307CO.
He is missing file iejit.htm, which he needs to enable JavaScripts.
I am running, in one PC, IE 5.50.4807.2300 (located in Windows 98 SE at Windows\Web). The file's size is 25,002.
On my other PC, I am running IE 6.0.2800.1106 (located in Windows 98 SE at Windows\Web). The file's size is 24,519.
Will either one of these files assist him?
Thanks,
David

wow, that's some crazy code in that file...mine is 25,004 bytes on IE6SP1

try copying it over and see what happens.

what's it used for anyway?


=========================================================
try { succeed(); } catch(E) { tryAgain(); }

according to there, its used to display the dialog for downloading stuff like wierd fonts on pages

I particularly love how it says they have used magic feather encryption (I believe the term was coined by fellow TT EdwardMartinIII) -a couple of screenfuls of blank lines at the start of the file to fool lusers who open it.

Can't actually find that file anywhere on my pc to verify anything from that site, ah well

Posting code? Wrap it with code tags: [ignore]

[/ignore][code]CodeHere

[ignore][/code][/ignore].

My browser also is IE6SP1.

What do you mean try copying it over? Taking out the spaces, the files collapses to 24,884.

And what do you mean by try

{ succeed(); } catch(E) { tryAgain(); }

?

Doesn't sound like it..

My browser also is IE6SP1; is this browser what is needed to enable JavaScripts.

What do you mean by "Doesn't sound like it.. "

And I did paste in

CodeHere

, where CodeHere was written in around the above referenced code. Apparently, it disappeared in the Post.

The question still remains: can he use one of my files (from a different OS) as the javascript enabler?

Possibly. jemminger suggested you 'copy it over', meaning copy one of those files to his machine and see what happens.

Regarding javascript I seriously doubt this file being or not being there has anything to do with their browser and javascript. That's what I meant in my last post.

Also that bit at the end of everyone's post (purple in my one, below a long line of === in jemminger's) are signatures. They have no immediate relevance to your question.

The response from my friend was: "David, The file was indeed needed."
Thanks,
