Javascript work in IE version 6 but not in XPSP2_GDR.040517-1325

[worldatlas]

I have a simple calendar javascript code that I'm putting on my website.
But my users, who have Internet Explorer version 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2_gdr.040517-1325, get error pop-up such as:

Runtime Error has occured
Line 0: Error
Error: Object expected.

However, my other users, who have IE version 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.030422-1633, seems to work okay with the calendar.

Any reason why this is occurring..
Thank you very much.

You'd need to post your code, or a URL to your code. Psychic debugging isn't a strong point of anyone I know of ;o)

Have you tried running your pages in Firefox and looking at the JavaScript console to see if any meaningful errors are displayed?

Hope this helps,
Dan

How are you calling this? Presumably there is also HTML code on a page somwhere to do this?

At what stage do you get the errors?

Did you try the Firefox suggestion?

[tt]D'ya think I got where I am today because I dress like Peter Pan here?[/tt]

 

[adam0101]

Do some of your users have the XP SP2 Popup Blocker turned on?

Adam

Whatever I feel like I wanna do, gosh!

 

[worldatlas]

Adam - where in the Internet Option can I find whether my users have popup blocker turned on???

 

[adam0101]

Tools > Popup Blocker

Adam

Whatever I feel like I wanna do, gosh!

 

[worldatlas]

That's weird, but I don't have Popup Blocker in the Tool drop down.

 

[adam0101]

But do the users having the problem have it on their menu? That's the question.

Adam

Whatever I feel like I wanna do, gosh!

 

[worldatlas]

If the users like to have this pop-up blocker turn off, then is there a way that I can bypass this pop-up blocker?

If I can't, then I'll try and see if I can convince my users. hahaha...Now that's a whole can of worms on its own.

 

[adam0101]

If this is in fact what the problem is, I suggest switching from a popup window calendar to an embedded div calendar like The Coolest DHTML Calendar which, as the name suggests, is very cool - and very customizable.
