Ed,
The problem appears to be with the chat site itself. If you ever need to check some of these things, a good starting point is to perform a search on "Google". A search for the error message on "Google" comes up with quite a few "hits". Click on the link below:
Google Search for "Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d' "
Hope this helps.

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this problem but here goes.
I am running Win XP HE with IE 6 and all Windows Updates installed. Yesterday I posted a comment on in a chat thread with no problem (http://www.lucianne.com). About 30 minutes later I tried to post to another thread on the same site and I got the following message:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d' Type mismatch: 'code' /asp-bin/postreply2inc.asp, line 256
Repeated attempts to post resulted in the same error message. A couple of times this resulted in a post showing date, time and my user name, but no message. Does anyone have any ideas as to the sudden inability to post?
