I disagree with that suggestion, and think it's a rather dangerous suggestion...

you do not know the OP's situation, s/he may use IE8 for a certain set of applications. upgrading their browser could very well compromise their use of those apps.

One shouldn't have to upgrade their browser to just get a web page to work, seems a bit drastic to me....
on different computer ,

IE 9
and Firefox

work -

Any settings to change in IE 8 ?  or re install older Java version ?
Ok do you use this computer private or commercial?
Just can confirm:
IE11 breaks a LOT of sites - you have to configure each of them manually for compatibility views!!!
It is NOT the problem of the browser (I am not blaming IE 11 - I love him) but more on the web sites - but as long as your Citrix farm login is failing or your OWA site looks like 2003 ....
Java <> Javascript

Java is something completely different and has nothing to do with Javascript!

The script code simply includes some elements / functions / methods / properties which do not exist in IE8 Script engine or which work differently.

The only chance you have is to use an alternate browser ...
It's not a matter of settings but rather how the browser process the code. As you've discovered different versions process the code differently.

It has nothing to do with java but JavaScript,  which is a totally different animal. unless the code running has to do with permissions (meaning it requires elevated permissions to run in w such case you can change the browsers setting for permissions) there's not much you can do
line 845 shows :

            e = this.element.form.elements;
