I am not sure I understand.  I am using the same sites as I used to.  They 
apparently had javascript before and worked fine.  Additionally, I created a 
new user on this computer and tested Konqueror there.  It does not get 
javascript errors when I surf.  I don't know what the problem is yet, but it 
is not something that has always been that way.

I have used Konqueror for, I think, a couple of years now exclusively and have 
never before run into this problem.
