on a large amount of pages i go to a get an icon in the bottom left part of the IE screen like the one next to the subject of this thread (an exclamation point in a yellow triangle thing). I click the icon, and it shows me this "object expected on line ...." error. This error stops certain things from being displayed on the page; certain windows can't be opened, and certain windows won't pop up (which leads me to believe this is a java-related problem.) For a screenshot go here note the boxed text. Why am i getting this error? And can it be fixed?

What is the javascript code that you are using? It's usually something simple that's wrong but it could also be the add popups interfering with your code

its not one of my sites, just sites i go to in general that have pop up windows. For instance, when i go to sites the require flash, and then if you have flash, a new window will open--it won't work for me. I get that error shown in the screenshot, with the appropiate site name in the box.

If it's not your code don't worry about it, someone goofed, it happens all the time. I know I've done it and people write me and say your site's not working. If you don't like the error messages just turn them off and unclick the always display this message box

i know, but i go to a lot of web sites that require these "javascript pop up windows" and they don't work. I believe this problem relates to IE6 itself, any suggestions?

have you changed any of the JavaScript/Java settings in advanced Internet Options?

nope...but just in case, should i do the restore defaults?

and now.....i just checked--the estudio.com site doesn't work, because the flash window won't pop up!!:mad:

uninstall 6.0 and get 5.0 or 5.5 and see if that fixes it?
02-26-2002, 12:21 AM

how exactly do i do that? because when i try, it won't let me install IE5.
02-26-2002, 01:15 AM

I've gotta ask. have you searched support.microsoft.com yet?
02-26-2002, 12:20 PM
hockyfan

Yes, i have visited the Microsoft help online...to no avail. I would like to be able to fully uninstall IE6, does anyone know of any programs that can do this?
02-26-2002, 01:23 PM

at least all the sites you want to go to still work. If any site has a openjavascript window....it won't open!! This inlcudes estudio.com, and sites like it (that open a new flash window)I really need this fixed:mad:...i hope someone can help.

In your "C:\WINDOWS\Windows Update Setup Files" there should be a file that says "Install Internet explorer 6" or sumthing like that. Just open that and re-install it and use custom options (cuz then u dont get the **** Microsoft usually gives u) If this is no help im me on aim @ RfUiLreZ im on often.

I had this problem or sumthing before. i fixed it like that but u may need to do something else.
02-27-2002, 11:06 PM
RfUiLreZ

WAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIITTTTTT Dont do that

Goto Add/Remove Programs
Click Microsoft internet Explorer 6 and internet tools
When the thing pops up click advanced and click Ok

This SHOULD bring you back to the old version of IE that you used before download IE6.0 If not IM me on AIM @ RfUiLreZ

ook, i have a perfect example of my problem (that's right, it's still not fixed:mad: ). Go to the AOL Instant Messenger site. On the left, there should be a blue menu, with white text (uses Javascript I believe). Well, I don't get that menu, i have an "object expected error". And I can't navigate the site! This is just one of many examples!!:(
03-13-2002, 04:11 PM
william_tropico

Well I went to the AOL site and i didn't see
the error. I have IE6 and are you sure that
this is wot is causing the problem. It may not
even be IE6 whis is the problem?
03-13-2002, 07:15 PM
hockyfan

well, i have tried going to the same sites on other computers and they worked fine. It's my computer, with my IE6 that's causing problems. Sites including estudio.com don't load at all, since it uses JS to load that new window.:(
