Internet Explorer Script Error

hjb123 · 17 December 2006 at 12:13PM

Hi,

Have had this problem before but on a different website. Each time I am on MSE I keep getting the Internet Explorer Script error box coming up and wondered if anyone else was having the same or how to get rid of it. It happens each time I go to a new page, so each time I go to a post or thread etc - its getting pretty annoying!

How to Disable Script Debugging messages in Internet Explorer

Load Internet Explorer
Click Tools -> Internet Options
Go to the Advanced Tab
Under the Browsing heading, make sure there is a check-mark beside "Disable Script Debugging"

Thanks for that but there is a check in the box next to it! The box still comes up each time. Isnt happening on any other sites though!

If there is a yellow triangle in bottom left corner of the IE7 window, double-click it and post the exact error message.

What anti-virus software are you running?

There is no yellow triangle in the windows at all. What does pop up each time I go to a new page is a box and in it there is:

Internet Explorer Script Error

An error has occurred in the script on this page
Line: 2350
Char: 1
Error: Object Expanded
Code: 0

It also asks if I want to continue running scripts on this page

Edit: to say that the line number varies according to what page you are on - its different every time!

Give the URL (web site address) of a page it occurs on, along with the actual error for that page, then I can look at the code and see what might be causing the error.

Tools - Internet Options - Advanced tab - and make sure 'Display a notification about every script error' is not ticked.

Also try: Tools - Internet Options - General tab - Delete in Browsing history - Delete Files and Delete Cookies. Restart IE.

What anti-virus and anti-spyware etc. software are you running? That could be causing the problem. In fact scan for spyware.

Hi,

Thanks will try those now.

The virus things we have are AVG Free and also Spybot

On the chat forums index page for MSE it gives the following error message/codes:

An error has occurred in the script on this page
Line: 2350
Char: 1
Error: Object Expanded
Code: 0

The error is caused by incorrect coding on the web page. Line 2350 on http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/ is the call to urchinTracker (used for Google Analytics):

<script type="text/javascript">
_uacct = "UA-799210-1";
_udn="moneysavingexpert.com"; 
urchinTracker();
</script>

However, there is nothing in the web page which defines this function and therefore the 'Object expected' error occurs.

You should find that the error doesn't occur on http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/shopping for example. That's because it includes urchin.js which defines the urchinTracker function:

<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
_uacct = "UA-799210-1";
_udn="moneysavingexpert.com"; 
urchinTracker();
</script>

Apart from making sure that 'Display a notification about every script error' is not ticked, there is nothing you can do. We'll have to wait until the MSE web designer fixes the code.
