Why is that when I click on a hyperlink with in a page, nothing happens?

Using Internet Explorer 6, when I open a web page and click on a hyperlink within the page, nothing happens, the link does not open. Sometimes, a java script error is displayed.

When I open the same web page and click on a hyperlink using Netscape, it works perfectly. IE is my preferred browser; help, what do I need to do/change in IE to open hyperlinks?
