Browsing the Internet, you may have been mystified by a message that reads: JavaScript Error “javascript.JSException: Unknown name”. Georges Ormond, an amateur Internet enthusiast who lives and works in New Orleans, says non-technical people like him are often put off by the thought of having to negotiate a “complicated thing like a JavaScript error”, but the reality is not that bad, really. With eyes tightly shut, allow us to reel off the following definition: “JavaScript is a scripting language most often used for web development. Its formal name is ECMAScript, though JavaScript is much more commonly used, and it is actually Netscape Communications Corporation’s implementation of the ECMAScript standard.”

Even a complete non-techie will realize that in essence, JavaScript is a web development language that is most commonly used on websites. We can tell you that it is easier for non-programmers to work with, and is also used to enable scripting access to objects embedded in other applications.

Armed with this knowledge about JavaScript, can you attempt to combat the menace of JavaScript errors? The three most common causes behind why your browser is showing a JavaScript error message is a) JavaScript technology option in the browser is not enabled; b) The browser may not support JavaScript technology at all; and c) The web page contains a JavaScript programming error.

Of course, you could choose to inform the Webmaster about the problem and supply all details of the JavaScript error message that you have been receiving, but you have an easier alternative to that. Simply clean your Windows Registry and watch the problem vanish. For those not in the know, the Windows Registry is a vast internal database in which all programs that you use on your system, including Windows itself, store a huge volume of data. So whenever you make a change to the Control Panel settings, file associations, system policies, or install new software, the changes reflect in the Registry. So the Registry actually monitors the way your system behaves, and unless you keep Windows Registry clean, you will not get away from JavaScript error messages.

Eh, we can hear you asking. What was that about cleaning Windows Registry to get rid of JavaScript error messages? How are the two linked? Well, the fact is that when you are viewing a web page that uses JavaScript, JavaScript may actually be writing to Windows Registry, filling it with components and commands that may show up as missing in future, so that you get a JavaScript error message when you view a web page.

So do you run to a PC mechanic and pay him some hideous sum of money to come and fix your JavaScript errors? We should think not, especially when you download some great Registry Cleaning software from the Internet and clean your Windows Registry at the click of a mouse. Not only will this take care of JavaScript error messages, but also free your Registry from a lot of rubbish that was clogging it and slowing down your computer.

We recommend RegCure (direct download link) as the premiere registry cleaner and error repair tool.
