rnmcd Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 I am trying to develop a website and I'm getting several Internet Explorer errors. Is it possible to diagnose the problem and suggest a fix without giving someone full access to my site? The IE error messages show the error line, charcter, code.... Is that enough for them to go on if they can "view source". thanks. Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 Are you talking about scripting errors? Quote
rnmcd Posted February 4, 2005 Author Posted February 4, 2005 Are you talking about scripting errors? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have no idea what kind of errors they are...IE just shows an exclamation point in the bottom left part of the screen. Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 That sounds like a scripting error. You would need access to the script to diagnose it. If the script is embedded into the page viewing the source will be all that's necessary. Otherwise you need access to the .js file that contains the code. Quote
btrfld Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 I've generally found IE's error messages too cryptic to be worth much. If you have or can get Firefox, it has somethng called the Javascript Console. Look in the Tools menu at the top. It will give you much more useful information about the error, including what's wrong and what file it's in. Quote

I just happend to download Firefox about a week ago and this sounds like another great use for it. I know I can't make heads or tails from the IE error message details. Quote

Joaquin Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 I am trying to develop a website and I'm getting several Internet Explorer errors. Is it possible to diagnose the problem and suggest a fix without giving someone full access to my site? The IE error messages show the error line, charcter, code.... Is that enough for them to go on if they can "view source". thanks. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Clicking the exclamation point usually at least tells you the line number that the error is on. A lot of times the onload= attribute in the <body> tag is calling a function that doesn't exist or with wrong parameters i.e. <body onload="preloadImages()"> Where preloadImages() is not defined or needs some parameters like preloadImages(image1.gif,image2.gif) I could take a look at the source if you post or PM me a link.
