Hi there,

 

It looks like a known problem with Internet Explorer 7 among various other quirks it has. Here's a link to the official Microsoft error details and workarounds as a reference.

The best solution would be update your browser to Internet Explorer 9 (or better yet switch to Firefox or Chrome). You can download the latest version here: http://windows.micro...roducts/ie/home

If you can't update / change your web browser due to policy restrictions or other reasons try this workaround suggested by Microsoft:

You can disable Active Scripting in Internet Explorer. This workaround avoids the error condition by preventing any script from running. But, the drawback of this workaround is that the page does not show changes that result from earlier successful dynamic changes to the page. Also, all pages in the same security zone do not have Active Scripting enabled until the feature is re-enabled.

For Internet Explorer 7, use one of the following methods.

Method 1

Add the individual site to Restricted Sites where scripting is disabled by default.

Note This method affects not only scripting but also many other areas of the page, including ActiveX controls, that are disabled or set to prompt for this zone.

To do this, follow these steps:

• On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
• On the Security tab, select the Restricted Sites zone.
• Click Sites, click Add, and then click OK.

Method 2

Set the Active Scripting to Prompt or to Disabled when you view an affected site for the zone in which the site loads.

Note This setting affects all the sites in the zone and should be set back to Enabled when you browse other sites. Determine what zone the site is loaded under by viewing the lower-right corner of the Status Bar.

• On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
• On the Security tab, select the zone the site loads under.
• Scroll down to the Scripting section, and set the Active Scripting to Disabled - prevents scripts or to Prompt - prompts user to run or not to run scripts.
• Click OK.

Note Method 1 and method 2 for Internet Explorer 7 may make the site unusable. Only disable scripts if the issue occurs frequently on the same site. If you change the Scripting setting, make sure that you reset the setting back to Enabled afterward so that other sites in that zone are not affected. If you cannot disable scripting, use Workaround 1, or upgrade to Internet Explorer 8.
