  IE6 Script Error (Message 1 to 3 of 3)  
From: Alf Peake

I can't believe I haven't had this error before on a 6 month old box.
Could it be a security setting in IE6?
If so, any pointers to help me?
Norton AntiVirus was the last programme installed 2 weeks ago.

From Pov's menu bar:
Scene->index: light, light fading, light source, light sources (and
other words)
Each gives the following window

> Internet Explorer Script Error
>
> Line:    1
> Char:    1
> Error:   Object doesn't support this property or method
> Code:    0
> URL:     mk:@MSITStore:C\PROGRAM%20FILES\POV-RAY%
>          20FOR%20WINDOWS%20v3.5
>          \help\povray35.chm::/output/povdoc_192.html
>
>     Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?

Sometimes ..._269.html or 127.html or 193.html

Version 3.5.icl.win32, WinXP SP1, P4 2.8G, 512MB.

No problems on a Win98 SP2 machine with NAV 2003 - I get the "select a
subentry" prompt

TIA

Alf

Did you download hotfix 828750 (Microsoft Security bulletin MS03-040) ?

If yes,  it's probably the follwoing caveat:

Caveats:
If you have not installed the updated HTML Help control from Knowledge Base 
article 811630, you will not be able to use some HTML Help functionality after 
applying this update. In order to restore that functionality, users need to 
download the updated HTML Help control (811630). Users should also note that 
when the latest version of HTML Help is installed, the following limitations 
will occur when a help file is opened with the showHelp method:

     * Only supported protocols can be used with showHelp to open a web page or 
help (.chm) file.
     * The shortcut function supported by HTML Help will be disabled when the 
help file is opened with showHelp This will not affect the shortcut 
functionality if the same CHM file is opened by the user manually by 
double-clicking on the help file, or by through an application on the local 
system using the HTMLHELP( ) API.

Don't know :-/ Went on-line 1st time 3 weeks ago and box went mad with
live-updates!
