How to Solve the Javascript Void(0) Problem

Many internet users face this problem when they try clicking a link and see this error code on the status bar of the browser which doesn't allow the link to work. It is actually an error message that occasionally appears in a web browser when you face a problem loading a JavaScript from a webpage. Though this error message pops up on various occasions but the actual reasons could be different for different users, and resolving these problems is necessary by knowing the most possible reasons for this error message.
1- The major cause of this error message is the Popup blocker blocking the JavaScript while stopping the windows which open up as the advertisements on various sites. Resolving this problem involves making changes in the preferences of the popup blocker based on your requirements and thus disabling the popup blocker. One can even download another anti popup software instead or can read the product reviews of popup blockers to assess if they really cause these error messages.
2- The malfunctioning of the web proxy servers (which are used for accessing the various banned websites) can also block the various scripts in the process. This problem can be avoided by not using the proxy server itself or using a proxy server that functions better and do not interfere in the downloading of various scripts. Also check for the compatibility of the proxy server with various web pages and scripts.
An improperly written JavaScript could also lead to this error message. The solution lies in notifying this error to the webmaster who in turn must rewrite the JavaScript.
3- The JavaScript might be disabled in your browsers, and this needs to be enabled. To enable this in IE, go to scripting tab of the security option in the Tools menu under the internet options; and to enable this in Firefox, go to Tools menu and enable the JavaScript option in Web features.
4- Web browser implementation of JavaScript might also be broken in some cases, and this requires the switching or simply the up gradation of your web browser.
There is this simple way where you can really avoid "javascript:void(0)" error message at the first instance because we know that this "javascript:void(0)" can cause certain browsers to really present your web pages in unusual ways, and since the "javascript:void(0)" statement is often occurred when a link has no URL attached to it, and the browser doesn't understand how to react and returns the error message. So for this, instead use the "return false;" statement to let the browser not to look for the URL. Try opening the document in any text editor; Locate the "javascript:void(0)" references within the document, Replace the links with the (#) symbol with the syntax ".", Add the "return false" declaration to the statement that would make the whole link reference to appear as a Link. Replace the "callFunction()" with your function name; Save and close the file finally.

Youtube videos won't play

  1. Most YouTube videos need JavaScript enabled. If or when JavaScript is enabled try it again, and if that does not work make sure you have a plug-in.

Lots of ads and movies dont play

Depending on what exactly isn't playing when is what I don't know from your info. So I can tell you two situations and two possible things to try. Generally I do not have any missing videos like you describe. Once in a while I do so hopefully we can nail this down.

The first description would be seeing the page fairly normally and then inside the video player area it might say not available or will be blank. The second is you might get a blurb of sound and images then no video but garbled sound.

In the first case that is usually an issue at the server side. I've just disconnected and then tried again. Sometimes it works right away and the odd time within a day or so. It will depend on what is really wrong. I usually always get this on new released programs.

The other is when it starts to play then stops but you get some sound continuing. This is a player or javascript error. You can try different browsers to view and see if that works. Sometimes one will have a different version or player plugin or update of javascript and will work. This one happens to me on quite annoyingly regular occurrence. I've tried different browsers which sometimes works, different computers and even different operating systems (windows, linux, mac) one right after the other. Strangely the one thing that works as well sometimes is a slower connection speed.

So basically expat itself should have zero to do with the problem but you may have issues with the player plugins, JavaScript, or even a firewall or pop up blocker and anti-advertisement plugins. From my experience with this the majority of the time is it a javascript error on the website. If you can connect to say youtube and watch videos without expat and while running expat then the problem is nothing to do with your end. Just have to keep on trying. to connect.

firstly u should open ur account on u tube,
then you can try following Bookmarklet (Javascript plugins), it will instantly get the video URL from the webpage even if it's not yet finished loading. No Website or software is needed. It's a bookmarklet(a bookmark containing JavaScript) in practice, you can also use it in FireFox, Safari or Inetnet Explorer.

span-download-youtube-video.png Install Google Chrome Plug-in: Download YouTube Video/Movie in Google Chrome Install this Javascript Plug-in is very easy, please do following steps:

I can't see video in you tube, i try to install flash player, but it's can't.. help me please,, thanks..

If you're receiving this error message and unable to play videos,
here's what I recommend to get you back on track and able to watch
videos successfully again. Please follow the steps listed below...

1. Uninstall the version of Adobe Flash that you currently have
running on your computer. You can uninstall Flash here:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157

2. Once you've uninstalled Flash, then go to the Adobe site and
download the most recent version of the Flash player:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

3. At this point, completely exit your browser (don't just close the
window, exit the browser completely).

4. Only now, once you've exited your browser, can you install the new
version of the Flash player you just downloaded. Install the Flash
player.

5. Finally, open your browser again. Go to YouTube and try playing a
video-- the video should now play!

6. If the video *still* doesn't play, make sure you have JavaScript
enabled (turned on) in your browser.

If you're not sure how to do this, do a Google search for your browser
and then "enable JavaScript". You should easily find instructions on
how to enable Javascript.

Here are a couple of examples for Firefox, Internet Explorer, and
Opera users:

and

We really hope these tips help! Good luck & enjoy

You have to make sure that JavaScript is turned on, and that you have an updated version of Macromedia's Flash Player.
To be sure that JavaScript is turned on –
Internet Explorer - Tools -> Internet Options -> Security Tab -> Click on Custom Level -> Scroll down to Scripting (near the bottom) and click Enable for Active Scripting. Then OK, and OK again.
Firefox - Tools > Options > Content > Enable JavaScript (Windows) Edit > Preferences > Content > Enable JavaScript
In case JavaScript is turned on and you still can't get it to work, download the latest version of flash player.
