confusing error message...

[cow]

i have a site when viewed under ie 4.01, produces a script error message. the message looks like this:

line: 1
char: 1
error: syntax error
code: 0

i've checked all the html and javascript, and everything seems to be in order.

any ideas???

tia...

It would be helpful if you post the code or a link to it so we can help you out.

the site is: http://www.dons-pharmacy.com

again, this only occurs under ie 4.01...

The only thing I could see was that you try to call a script named "animate.js" but there is no file called that so there is a 404 error. IE 4.01 probably tries to execute the file and gives a syntax error because it turns out to be an HTML 404 file instead of a javascript file.

the animate.js script is part of ms frontpage... it exists and works fine.

the error message just pops up and asks if i want to continue running the scripts on the page. the page works as designed after i click on the yes button.

well, i'll try to remove the animate.js call and see what happens.

thanks!

http://www.dons-pharmacy.com/animate.js is a 404 error and that is where the scripts point.

It's located in the parent of the web root according to the source code I saw. Of course that isn't publicly available and should still cause an error.

I used to use FrontPage and I think I may know what's going on. I am using 5.0 and am getting the error so it's not just in 4.01. I had a similar thing happen to me a few times and the only thing that ever worked was to scour the html and delete ALL the java script (sorry, it's kind of a pain) because sometimes I think FP screws up and puts a piece of the script somewhere else in the HTML. After you delete all the JS, just put it back in and it should work fine. Hope this helps.
