No Frank.
Check your script settings.

Thanks for the replies, guys!

I'm using IE7 'out of the box' so I reckon any problems are the fault of the browser, not my settings.

A quick Google search for "script error" and IE7 brings up quite a few pages of people posting in various places about similar problems, so I guess it's not just me after all.

Did you check the following:

Configuration settings can cause Internet Explorer to react incorrectly to script errors. You may get dialog boxes that display painfully granular details and ask whether to continue running scripts on the same page—handy for developers but pointless for most others. To turn off such notifications, select Internet Options from the Tools menu and click on the Advanced tab. Make sure the box Disable script debugging is checked. Find Display a notification about every script error and make sure it is not checked. Then click on OK.

If you allow the Machine Debug Manager (MDM) to run, it can generate script errors, too. Launch Msconfig from the Start menu's Run dialog and click on the Startup tab. If MDM is on the list, uncheck it and restart. In Windows 2000, Msconfig is not available, so you will have to disable MDM in the Registry. Navigate to the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\RunServices. If you find a value that references the Machine Debug Manager or MDM, delete it.

Thanks for that Bob.

Make sure the box Disable script debugging is checked.

Checked

Find Display a notification about every script error and make sure it is not checked.

It wasn't checked, so I checked it.

If you find a value that references the Machine Debug Manager or MDM, delete it.

Nope, not in startup.

Same result I'm afraid:



I guess me and IE are just destined not to get on together!

This needs to be un-checked. 

You also never gave us the link to the website where these errors occurred.

[FreewheelinFrank]

Oh, sorry. It was unchecked before so I only got a warning triangle.

Now I get the pop-up, but the error is still the same- before I had to claick the triangle to see the error message.

EDIT: The problem has happened while logging into Hotmail, while using the program bvtlivetv2, which displays live feeds from TV stations (and must use the IE7 engine because it worked with IE6) and my page here:

The page validates OK (but not on GeoCities because the ad scripts themselves don't validate) but IE7 chokes on the DHTML menu, I think.

As you can see, there isn't any problem getting to your web:

[FreewheelinFrank]

Ah, the wonderful world of computing, where the fact that something works for one person means diddly squat for another. Did you see the menu? Did you get the yellow triangle script warning at the bottom left of the page?

This problem has been confirmed by one viewer here:

[bob3160]

No errors Frank and there is actually a menue on both the left and right side of the page.



I left out the picture  at the top of the left menu.

[FreewheelinFrank]

XP or Vista?

EDIT:

Why?

Entirely innocent!

[bob3160]

XP SP2

Also, did anyone get the news that Microsoft confirms the 2nd bug in IE7 ? Sophos (or something like that, the same company with the first bug test also) got tests that kinda flaws the pop-up blocking of IE7 or something like that. Hope it gets fixed by next months updates ...

[FreewheelinFrank]

XP SP2

Hmmm... I guess it's only a problem with IE7 on some systems then.

I still think it has something to do with your security settings in IE7.

Hi all

Hope i posted in right place.

I am on Dial Up, and after i installed IE7 i started to be disconnected from the internet.
Browsing with IE is no problem, it is when i manually update say Avast for one  i can be disconnected but not always. this applys to other programs as well.

I looked on Microsoft web site tried this but didn't work

Internet Connection Settings--If you notice a problem connecting to websites, it might be because the upgrade to Internet Explorer 7 changed your Internet connection settings from what they were set at in Internet Explorer 6. To work around the problem, follow these steps:
1.   Open Internet Explorer, click the Tools button, and then click Internet Options.
2.   Click the Connections tab.
3.   Click the first entry in the Dial up and Virtual Private Networks list, and then click Settings.
4.   Select the Automatically detect settings check box, and then click OK.
5.   Repeat the previous two steps for each entry in the Dial up and Virtual Private Networks list.
6.   Click the Lan Settings button in the Connections tab, and repeat steps 4-6. Click OK on the Connections tab.
Close Internet Explorer, and then restart it


Just out of curiosity has any else had this problem.
Gone back to IE6 no more problems.

Cheers
