I have a very expensive mapping program - topo data for the entire country. Normally, I click start, as shown here:
And get to a screen that looks like this:
Where I can select the section of the country I want a map of. However, I've just found out that clicking "start" will not bring that map up at all. ALL other buttons work. The web page source points to an exe, but running the exe just brings up the same page! I have NO idea why anybody would make a mapping program that relies on a java splash page to get started.
Sure, the maps are there, BUT, I have no idea what I'm opening because of the filenames - that 2nd screen tells you whats being opened, has all sorts of tools, allows you to easily skip to other maps - it's just frustrating and impossible to use without that.
I have no idea why I can't access this part of the program, apart from the fact that javascript simply isn't letting me. Javascript is installled, both firefox and IE are set up to handle it (though the program doesn't support firefox, so I can't go that way), but javascript simply goes on a lunch break.
Included below is the source to the page, and below that, a test javascript that doesn't work either. Please help, it would be completely anal to reformat just to use one program...
-------------------------------
Now, the source for that simple little page that won't do what it's supposed to:
Every other box I use handles JS just fine, but my main box just decided to not let it work one day for some reason. I've triple-checked that IE is permitted to use all forms of JS, and I've even turned the security level to off in order to make sure it isn't blocking something. I am utterly and totally clueless about this problem.
