Mystery: Line Error msgs

Fusion · Post by **Fusion** » Sat May 27, 2006 4:59 pm

I have been giving some tech support help to a friend/neighbor, but they have encountered something that we don't know what they mean, nor how to correct. Here is a sample list of the msgs she wrote down. I am open to any possible solutions(w/in reason of course) Browser in question is IE, ver unknown. Just updated Java, so we know that isn't a cause.

Website: Hotmail.com:
Line 31,33,35 'Menuobj' is undefined
Line 24 Object expected

Website:DBM(Online school course)
Line 0 'document.forms.o.browserlang' is null or not an object
Line 535 object expected

Website: unknown
Unterminated String Constant 2-489
Invalid Argument 2-1
Line 1750 'webmaster' is undefined

Website: Skillport(don't know what that is for them)
Line 66 obnject doesn't support this property or method
Line 199,197,245 'isn.10' is null or not an object

Website: Webshots
Line 489 Undetermined String constant
Line 476 Undetermined string constant

Website:Google.com
Line 199 'isn.10' is null or not an object

Any clues?

Java != Javascript. The latter appears to be the culprit. It's been a while since I've had to deal with Internet Explorer, or Windows for that matter, but IIRC it uses something called \"Windows Script\" to parse Javascript. Try reinstalling this: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... laylang=en
Good luck, because you're going to need it.

What does this app do? Would it be a good idea to upgrade their IE, or switch to an alt browser?

Here is another one that they get
Website: msn.com

Something has broken their javascript, easiest solution is to just hide it, see if this helps.

Thx Krom...Where do I go to get to that screen?

Edit:NM Krom, found the screen. Hopefully it will do the trick. Find out next time I am over there.

Thx Krom,

That did the trick.

(on the msn.com error msg) If it shows up on them elsewhere, I will post.

Keep in mind that didn't really fix it, all it did was hide the error messages. But as long as the pages work you don't really care right?

make sure they are running the latest version of IE, in other words, make sure they have all the latest patches installed.

alternatively, introduce them to another browser.

A good chance. No way to know until you try. But it is what IE uses to interpret Javascript.
