Run time error?

someone at work told me to see if I have Java on my computer (which I do) and that I may need a java update or something because I get this message a lot when I go on some web sites..?

A run time error has occured

Do you wish to debug?

Line: 2 (or any other line)

Error: "Document.msg.body.value" is null or not an object"

Anyone know what all this means and what I can do to fix it?

Thanks! Nicci

Well a couple of important facts.

1) That is not a Java error. That is a JavaScript error. Java and JavaScript are not the same thing.

2) That error is nothing wrong with your computer. It's the pages that are poorly coded having that error.

3) The reason you are seeing those errors is that your browser is in script debugging mode. Which is helpful for developers but not so good for you.

Here's how to fix it. I am assuming you are using Internet Explorer. If you are using another browser you should look for information (use Google) to turn off JavaScript debugging in that browser.

From Internet Explorer go to Tools -> Internet Options

Go to the Advanced tab.

Find a box marked "Disable script debugging" (this should be in the "browsing" section and is usually near the top of the big list of advanced options)

Check the box marked "Disable script debugging"

Click apply

Click OK

Fixed. If that didn't fix it then there is something wrong with IE and you may need to reinstall. Please consult with someone ITish for more help.
