Script error

All of a sudden I get an error window saying "Internet Explorer Script Error" when launching various URLs. Each error is always showing:
Line: 2
Char: this varies one time it may be 5771 on one URL and then it might be 5091 on another URL
Error: Expected "˜}'
Code: 0
URL: Various Samples: http://www.pcworld.com/ or http://www.samsungusa.com

It doesn't seem to make any difference whether I click on Yes or No to the question "Do you want to continue running scripts on this page ". I continue on as if the error didn't happen in the first place. Its just annoying as all #@$%.

My operating system is Windows 98 SE.
IE version 6.0.2800.110615

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

rgaleh--You have doctored the actual message you got, but I suspect these messages are for the writer of the site. You can set things so you do not get these messages in the future by clicking IETools|Internet Options|Advanced tab|Browsing and check the box "Disable script debugging" and uncheck the box "Display a notification... ".

 

Jim: Thanks for your prompt reply. Made all the changes to the perimeters you indicated but am getting the same script errors. I don't understand your comment about my having doctored the actual message I got. The only thing I left out is that an Explanation sign inside a yellow triangle followed by the statement "An error has occured in the script on this page." I could E-Mail you an exact picture of the error window if that would help.

rgaleh--Sorry to hear my suggestion did not work. That triangular error icon and message is also usually a sign of the problem I mentioned.
But I have no further ideas. Hope someone else will chime in.
At least you can access the sites when you click off the message, even though understandably annoying.
P.S. I had no problems accessing the PCWorld site, but never did get the Samsung site to load completely. On the other hand the Internet seems slow today for me.

 

My operating system is Windows 98 SE.
IE version 6.0.2800.110615
============================================
Is that a typo ? should be IE version 6.0.2800.1106
Next time you get a script error mark the box to not show
remove the check in [ ] always dispay the message when a page has errors

If you have --tools intenet options advanced [X]disable script debugging and unchecked [ ] display a message about every script error. and still get script errors.
Only thing I can think is you use one of those compuserve netscape versions 5 through 6 that uses IE ?
If you are minumize it after connecting and surf with IE

Jim and Lonny: Thanks for your help. This is what I did to eliminate those script errors. I shut down my ZoneAlarm firewall application, and since I did that no problems. Now I'm going to harass the techs at ZoneAlarm for an explanation. Again thanks for your time.

rgaleh--Thanks for letting us know what solved the problem. Lots of people have problems accessing websites due to ZA and/or PopUp Stoppers. But a script error message is a new one.
Did you only recently install ZA?

 

Jim: Now that you brought it up I did update ZoneAlarm Pro in April. My minds a little fuzzy as to when the errors started but you may have given me something to check out. Thanks
