When Is A Script Error Not A Script Error?
Hi Fred, Concerning http://langa.com/newsletters/2006/2006-05-15.htm#3 about script errors, it's possible to experience these error messages when using ad blocking software. To see if this is what's happening, it might be a good idea to disable any such software, clear the browser cache, and then reload the web site and see if this makes a difference. I hope this helps as your newsletter and past input by other readers has certainly come to my rescue in the past. Plus Subscriber, Alan Friedman
Good point, Alan, I should have mentioned that. When the script error is a true, for-real-error in the coding of the page, then my previous comments pertain. But you're right: Script-blocking/disabling security tools can fool a browser into thinking there's a script problem, when the script may actually be fine; just blocked by the security tool.
Such tools would tend to work on all web pages so widespread script errors would be another possible indication of a script-blocker at work. On the other hand, script errors on just one or two sites would suggest an issue with the scripts themselves.
Nice clarification, Alan, thanks.
