Notes with Internet Explorer produces script error on page (IE by itself does not)

The user’s location document has the “Internet Browser” set to “Notes with Internet Explorer”

They attempt to open any URL, E.G. the google homepage via the Notes address bar and get:

“An error has occurred in the script on this page”

“Error: Object does not support this action”

“Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?”

They can open any page in the user’s IE browser and it loads just fine.

any ideas?

TIA,

“Notes with IE” isn’t IE, it’s just the OLE control (a crippled, stripped-down embedded subset of IE). There are a lot more problems with it than just an incomplete JScript implementation – navigation is borked because the Notes back button is connected to the Notes elements onscreen, not the IE control; window naming and ownership can’t work as expected in an embedded implementation, etc.

The built-in browser is a convenience for viewing a single simple web page once in a while, but nobody should be forced to actually use it in real life.

Hi,

I’ve got a user with a similar issue on 6.5.4 client. I have removed all nsf files and recreated them but error is still there. Is there something that is being missed by us?

Thanks in advance
