"javascript:" protocol not working

Can anyone help me figure out why my IE is refusing to acknowledge any
"addresses" preceded by the javascript: protocol? If I click on a link such
as <a href="javascript: myFunction();">, IE acts as if nothing happens.
Similarly, if I type something like javascript: alert('hello world'); in the
address bar, nothing happens. Javascript seems to work fine when it's called
from an event handler, it's just the addresses that don't work.

If anybody has some ideas, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks.
