IE8 problem

by vickilhargis Jun 6, 2010 8:15AM PDT

The other day my IE8 started something new. I get a box that says - Message from webpage
! Expected identifier, string or number.
Sometimes I click the OK button and that's it, then other times it gives me another box that says-
'store_list' is null or not an object
I have to click OK numerous times for it to disappear. This is happening about everytime I log on to IE8 and when I change web pages. Can someone tell me why this is happening and what to do to stop it? I will greatly appreciate all help. It is getting to be a big nusiance. Thanks in advance

Look like a Javascript problem

The same effect was noted here;

IE will report Javascript errors if a setting is selected to debug script. To prevent this, go to IE's Tools > Internet options, then the Advanced tab.

Under the "Browsing" options, tick the two options for;

Disable script debugging (Internet Explorer), and
Disable Script debugging (Other).

See if that helps.
