Yes. Jupiter, with its relatively huge moons, has solar eclipses on a daily basis. These can be seen from Earth; the moons' shadows are seen moving over Jupiter's surface. Well, Jupiter's visible part at any rate - it doesn't have a surface like Earth.

Two planets move between us and the Sun but they are too far away to cause an eclipse. Mercury and Venus sometimes transit across the Sun as seen from Earth and then what you see is a black circular dot on the face of the Sun.

Do planets with moons have eclipses as often as earth?

Planets with moons may indeed have Earth-like eclipses. Eclipses happen when moon orbital plane intersects with planet orbital plane with respect to its star. Eclipses can only happen however if angular diameter of the moon is similar to (or greater than) angular diameter of star as seen from planet's surface, which is quite a rare condition. In the whole Solar System moon-eclipses only happen on Earth.

Why dos Jupiter and Saturn have no eclipses?

In order to have a solar eclipse, the moon needs to have the same angular size as the Sun. Non of Jupiter's and Saturn's moons have that characteristic. They do however have lunar eclipses, when their moons enter the planets' shadows.
