Having been off JWD for a couple of days and not knowing how to fix it, I can tell you that the new beta version of the google toolbar includes a pop up killer which stops this site working. This site just appears as text with no buttons or formatting.
I removed the google toolbar (new version) and hey presto - I'm back.
It's a bit of a shame as msn proudly announce every year they are the most popular search engine, when in reality the browser defaults to msn anyway, a scam if you ask me!!!
Ballistic, have you tried changing the settings on the toolbar? I have it on and have no probs at all...here is a screen catch of what I have:
Search using:
Open a new window to display results each time you search
Add Google-related items to the browser's right-click context menu. Note: Changes to this option will not take place until you restart your browser
Search box size: Narrow Normal Wide
Keep a search history in a drop-down list under the search box
Preserve the search history across browser sessions
Automatically run a search when you select from the search history
Descriptions of each of the buttons are available on the button help page.

©2003 Google Disabling this option will immediately clear your query history. Are you certain you wish to proceed?
Hmmm...none of my buttons showed up. I installed it, left it as was, and I get all the goodies here. Maybe it wasn't the google bar? I love the google bar....I use it all the time.
Teen, I must admitt that removing it was heavy handed when there are options (options... what options? no one told me about options???) but anyway my palms were sweating and I was thinking of getting counseling.
Ballistic, mine is right beneath the address bar on IE. When you left click on the colored word Google, you will get a whole list of options, one is Toolbar Options (right below it is Clear History--handy), click that and it gives you the options for the screen I tried to show you.
You can try Default or play around with it and see what works. Anything to not give up google. I forgot how to Yahoo!
Thanks anyway, I need to dose up here before I risk loosing it again. This new beta version only just available obviously defaults to settings which block access.
Worth newbies knowing this, thats what I worry about really.
I'll try it out when it's released and, if it still plays up with the site, will see if I can work round it.
If msn claims they're the most popular search engine they're fulla shit. Google does more searches than the next nine top search engines put together.
