Internet Explorer Script Error

[Gloria E]

For the last 3 days I've been getting an error when I open the digest.

The message reads: An error has occurred in the script on this page.
Line:272 Char:11 Error: Object Expected Code:0
URL: mhtml.mid://000000026" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?

I clicked Yes and the message went away.

Is this a user error or a server error?

This is the same problem that you are having at the other site with their email notifications.

What have you been tweaking and hacking?

If you had seen my post of today on that other not named forum, you would have seen that I said that the problem was NOT on it's forum. Therefore I came to the right forum to post the problem.

I haven't been tweaking or hacking anything. The error only appears when I open the digest for this one. It's happened for the last 3 days (including today).

I would like to know if it's a user problem or a server one and how to fix it.

Gloria,

Can you tell us what your settings for digests are (in the Digests tab of your User Control Panel)?
I just now received my digest for today, and although I had set Internet Explorer to display all script errors, I could read it and follow the links without getting an error message.

User Control Panel settings:

Type of digests wanted: Daily
Digest styling: HTML Classic
Hour sent: 7

I hope this information helps you.

Thanks, Gloria.

Could you forward a digest that causes the problem to admin@eileenslounge.com? Perhaps we'll be able to find out what's wrong. Thanks in advance.

Gloria,

I have received your forwarded digest, and although I have Internet Explorer set to display every error, I can view it without problems. I don't get an error message in Firefox either, so I don't think the problem is caused by the digest itself. But I have no idea what does, sorry.

Hurray I've found what was the cause of the Script Error. Here is how I fixed it.
IE> Tools> Internet Options> Advanced. Under Browsing I disabled Script Debugging.
Next I removed the check mark from Display a notification about every script error. This was done yesterday (2/16/2010), today I received the digest without the error reappearing.
Now you know.

Gloria,

That is a way to hide script errors, it doesn't remove them. In most situations, you as end user can't do anything about script errors, so it's useful to disable script debugging. But I didn't get any errors even with script debugging enabled and with "Display a notification about every script error" turned on.
