IE7 Final released

IE7 fouls up on Hotmail:

Ironically, my default browser has no problems, but Messenger insists on opening Hotmail with IE.

Cheers MS!

That’s strange ???

No problems here. :slight_smile:

Hotmail, not Live Mail. :wink:

For me, hotmail and Live Mail are one and the same. I sign into hotmail and it opens Live Mail. :slight_smile:

Interesting read offered without any further comment.

Personally, I’d like to see neither open source organizations and private companies to be too successful. It would be better for us end-users if the powers compete to make the majority happy with their products.

Firefox 2.0 seems to be out as well. However, its customization is still lower than its predecessor. I hope there won’t be one- side winning of Microsoft since it won’t be good under a long prospect.

Be Ready for Automatic Update Distribution of IE7 by November 1

I keep getting ‘script error’ messages like this with IE7. The message refuses to budge whether I click yes, no or try to close the dialogue box, and the only way to close IE is with Task Manager.

IS IE7 being this temperamental for anybody else?

No Frank.
Check your script settings.

No troubles here… ::slight_smile:


No troubles here, neither. :slight_smile:


No Frank. Check your script settings.

Thanks for the replies, guys!

I’m using IE7 ‘out of the box’ so I reckon any problems are the fault of the browser, not my settings.

A quick Google search for “script error” and IE7 brings up quite a few pages of people posting in various places about similar problems, so I guess it’s not just me after all.

Did you check the following:

Configuration settings can cause Internet Explorer to react incorrectly to script errors. You may get dialog boxes that display painfully granular details and ask whether to continue running scripts on the same page—handy for developers but pointless for most others. To turn off such notifications, select Internet Options from the Tools menu and click on the Advanced tab. Make sure the box Disable script debugging is checked. Find Display a notification about every script error and make sure it is not checked. Then click on OK.

If you allow the Machine Debug Manager (MDM) to run, it can generate script errors, too. Launch Msconfig from the Start menu’s Run dialog and click on the Startup tab. If MDM is on the list, uncheck it and restart. In Windows 2000, Msconfig is not available, so you will have to disable MDM in the Registry. Navigate to the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\RunServices. If you find a value that references the Machine Debug Manager or MDM, delete it.

Thanks for that Bob.

Make sure the box Disable script debugging is checked.

Checked

Find Display a notification about every script error and make sure it is not checked.

It wasn’t checked, so I checked it.

If you find a value that references the Machine Debug Manager or MDM, delete it.

Nope, not in startup.

Same result I’m afraid:

I guess me and IE are just destined not to get on together!

This needs to be un-checked. :slight_smile:

You also never gave us the link to the website where these errors occurred.

Oh, sorry. It was unchecked before so I only got a warning triangle.

Now I get the pop-up, but the error is still the same- before I had to claick the triangle to see the error message.

EDIT: The problem has happened while logging into Hotmail, while using the program bvtlivetv2, which displays live feeds from TV stations (and must use the IE7 engine because it worked with IE6) and my page here:

http://www.geocities.com/dontsurfinthenude/index.htm

The page validates OK (but not on GeoCities because the ad scripts themselves don’t validate) but IE7 chokes on the DHTML menu, I think.

As you can see, there isn’t any problem getting to your web:

Ah, the wonderful world of computing, where the fact that something works for one person means diddly squat for another. Did you see the menu? Did you get the yellow triangle script warning at the bottom left of the page?

This problem has been confirmed by one viewer here:

No errors Frank and there is actually a menue on both the left and right side of the page.

I left out the picture at the top of the left menu. ;D

XP or Vista?

EDIT:

I left out the picture at the top of the left menu.

Why?

Entirely innocent!
