Stop IE Script Error Messages



Sometimes Internet Explorer will give you script error messages when you are browsing the Web. You should not be alarmed. Script error messages normally occur when there is a problem with the programming on the Web page you are visiting and have nothing to do with Internet Explorer itself.
In most cases, you will still be able to view the Web page in question, even with the script error. If you find you are getting a lot of script error messages and find them irritating, you can take measures to stop Internet Explorer from showing them to you.

Internet Explorer is set to automatically debug the Web sites it visits. By disabling the debug feature, you can eliminate the possibility of getting script error messages while you are online.

Stop Those Pesky Script Error!

  1. Start Internet Explorer.
  2. Select 'Tools' from the toolbar menu.
  3. Choose 'Internet Options.'
  4. Click on the 'Advanced' tab.
  5. Scroll through the list of options until you see the heading labeled 'Browsing.'
  6. Put checks in the boxes labeled 'Disable Script Debugging (Internet Explorer' and 'Disable Script Debugging (Other).' When you have done this, click 'OK.'

    You should no longer see script error messages when you cruise the Internet.
