I mean I cant execute/run the script. well......the actual thing is that in DreamWeaver in JavaScript editor there is something called as "Preview in IE6.0" using which I think I can make it work. But unfortunately that button remains inactive. In the browser setting I have IE marked as the primary browser and opera as secondary. But the "Preview in IE" and "Preview in Opera" still remains inactive. How is that I can get the script to play and execute in browser ?

    First of all javascript should be enabled in ur browser. If it is then in IE look at the extreme left of the status bar. There should be an JS error icon there. Double click on it and see the details of the error. HTH. OK. yaar try this if u haven't already: make a new blank html page in dreamweaver and switch to code view. Put your javascript code between this in the Body section. Save page as .htm or .html. now the preview buttons should be activated. Browsers can't display js files directly. If ur script is ok u should see something or at least look for that error icon on the browser status bar.
