Dropdown not working in IE or Chrome

Question

I go to a msdn web site, say https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms176064.aspx[^] where there is a dropdown for "Other Versions". I am unable to use the dropdown in either IE or Chrome. Notice I have tried IE 9, 10, and 11.

Works fine in FireFox, but noticed it does not in Chrome.

This behavior is machine dependent as other machines I use work fine, so I assume it is a setting somewhere. I have no idea where to look.

Has anyone heard of this behavior before, and how do I fix it?

It isn't a dropdown, it's a javascript control. The first things I'd suggest is to press F12 in Chrome and see if there are any errors or warnings in the console.

It works for me perfectly in both - maybe JavaScript blocked for you (some office policy)?

Thank you for the replay. Unfortunately I do not understand the problems (6).
However with the information that it is a javascript this could be the problem, as java here on the work computer is sometimes locked down. I have various things turned of in FireFox, but I try and keep them on for IE (which my Chrome shares setup with).

Java != Javascript. :)

Was there something in the console window? If so, would you be able to post the messages here?

This is not a code issue but a technical support issue. I suggest you post in one of Microsoft's Technical forums.
