No error message

[Mikie]

This worked once. I can't get the error message to show on the screen
in IE6. It briefly flashes at the bottom of the screen. I have turned
on the show message under options. I do have popup blocker and am
allowing localhost.

Thanx

Fine. Now, would you mind telling us what your question is? Also, saying:
"This worked once" isn't of much help, particularly with no indication of
what it is that is supposed to be working.

Re: No error message

I am trying to debug some javascript in an html file. For some reason
the error messages don't appear.

Internet Explorer is poor, at best, when it comes to debugging. Even if
they did show, they wouldn't be of much help. You could use the Venkman
JavaScript debugger if you have Netscape or Mozilla installed.

As for why IE's error window doesn't display, I couldn't really say. Are
you absolutely certain that it should display (you have a *guaranteed*
syntax error)?

For the record, a popup blocker shouldn't stop it (it's not a popup, after
all).

Use the MS debugger for IE.
Don't forget to set your settings to enable debugging and to show a
script error (internet options advanced tab).

I seem to recall that some of the external pop-up blockers that work by
killing off new IEXPLORER instances do kill the error report dialog.
(symptoms described it momentarily flashing on the screen and then
vanishing). Then again I might be incorrectly remembering what the
conclusions were for a post on this subject from a very long time ago.

There seems to be as wide a range of definitions of "pop-up" as there
are ways of blocking them.

I suppose it was a statement of hope. A window generated by the browser,
that is not the result of a script call to open one, shouldn't be
considered fair game by a blocker. The error window is part of the
browser, not the page being displayed.

I guess the easiest way to find out is for the OP to disable the pop-up
blocker and try to process a script error.
