Test Popup Window Problem

Did you click a link to view a pathology test and nothing happened? If this occured, it is not because our site is not working properly, but because you may have a "javascript" problem. Use our test button to help determine if you have this problem. Click on this button and a small popup window should appear (that is similar to our test results). This window should show a picture of the hospital and some text. If the window is empty, or there is no window, you will need to enable this popup window to function. Our web site uses javascript extensively, so you will need to enable your browser to handle javascript functions. There are three primary reasons why you may not see these popup windows in Internet Explorer. (If your are using Firefox, see below.)

  1. Firstly - try this, and this is usually the reason - your browser has been set to disable "scripting". This is easy to correct - see below. OR
  2. You have software on your computer that suppresses unwanted popup and banner advertisements used by overly aggressive marketing companies. See if your "popup blocker" has a setting to allow desirable popup's, or at least temporarily allow them. OR
  3. Lastly, your computer network server may not allow javascript functions. Ask your I. T. department if desirable popups can be allowed.

Browsers may vary in the exact sequence and wording, but here is how "scripting" is enabled and disabled in Internet Explorer Version 5.0, 5.5, 6.0. Other browsers should be very similar.


1.Click "Tools", and then click "Internet Options".

2. Click the "Security Tab" at the top of the window.
Click the "Custom Level" button.


3.Scroll almost to the bottom to the section "Scripting" with sub-section "Active Scripting". (Not the section "Scripting of Java Applets".) Select "Enable". Click the "OK" button.

4. Click the "YES" button for, "Are you sure you want to change the security settings for this zone?" Click the last "OK" button.

5. Now make your browser "Refresh" or "Reload". This will load the new settings.
Now, click the test button at the top of this page to see if the popup window appears and is filled with information. If desired, you can use the same process to "disable" scripting again when done.

Firefox Browser

Firefox is slightly different. If you are experiencing blank pages or recently updated pages are not showing, the following may help. In Firefox's browser, click on "Tools" on the main menu and then "Options". You may also need to clear your "History" and "Cache" folders. This removes old pages and allows new pages to be viewed.
