Script Errors

Users might report that script error notifications appear on their monitors while surfing

websites, and they might also complain that they are continually asked if they want to

debug those errors. You might also have users with the opposite problem; a developer

or technician might need to see these errors when testing a new website. Whatever the

case, script options exist in the Advanced options of Internet Explorer, and they can be

easily enabled or disabled.

_ Enabling and Disabling Script Debugging

To enable or disable script debugging, or if a user should be notified of all script errors,

follow these steps:

1. Open Internet Explorer, and from the Tools menu, select Internet Options.

2. On the Advanced tab, in the Browsing section, select or clear the following check

boxes and then click OK: Disable Script Debugging and Display A Notification

About Every Script Error.

3. Click OK to close the Internet Options dialog box.
