How To Fix This Error

Internet Explorer Script Error: An error has occurred in the script on this page . . . . Do you want to continue running scripts on this page? Click Yes or No.

Error Message:

"Internet Explorer Script Error: An error has occurred in the script on this page . . . . Do you want to continue running scripts on this page? Click Yes or No." We're happy to hear someone else gets this message. It happens when you visit a Web page containing a broken script (Java, ActiveX, or another type) that can't be accessed properly. We haven't found a surefire solution to this annoying problem. Sometimes uninstalling and reinstalling IE works, but more often than not the error is the result of sloppy coding on the Web page, and nothing makes it go away. With scripts embedded in many Web pages, this is one error message we may have to get used to seeing. A similarly unpreventable message is: "A Runtime Error has occurred. Do you wish to Debug?" Whether you click Yes or No, you can generally browse in peace until the next script error pops up. 

Translation:

While browsing the Internet, a message box often pops up claiming a script error has occurred and asking whether the user wants to continue running scripts. Clicking either Yes or No has various effects, from banishing the error box to disrupting the Internet connection. 

Solution:

Although you can't make these errors disappear, you can make IE keep quiet about them. Because there is very little chance that a script error will crash the program or interfere with another application, this is a rare case where not knowing something won't hurt you.

To disable script error alerts in IE6.x, open the Tools menu, select Internet Options, and click the Advanced tab. Scroll down the list to the Browsing category and look for Disable Script Debugging. Put a check in the checkbox next to it and look immediately beneath it to find Display A Notification About Every Script Error. To disable the notification, put a check that box, too, and click Apply. The script error alert boxes shouldn't appear anymore. Be aware, though, that if a Web page loads improperly (text or graphics are shifted from where they are supposed to be or don't show up at all), a script error you can no longer see may be responsible. Performing the above steps also will disable alerts for Runtime Errors.
