Have been getting what appear to be script errors where
function OAS_RICH( ) is not found. Other apparently
related code appears to be OK. This happens on several
diff sites, but I cannot see pattern btwn what works &
doesnt.

Here is the offending piece of code:
function OAS_AD(pos) {
if (OAS_version >= 11)
OAS_RICH(pos);
else
OAS_NORMAL(pos);
}

No results searching KB, etc.
 
This is not really a browser problem. You should direct your enquiry to the
webmaster of the offending site that is hosting the site and authored the
code.
What are the web sites where this occurs.
Please reply on this thread.

I figured it wasn't IE issue per se, but I thought I
Click to expand...
might have gotten a bit frisky cleaning out spy/ad-ware
recently & maybe toasted IE.

Anyway, two of the sites are www.accuweather.com and
www.defensenews.com ... I'll write them, although my
experience with these type questions has been less than
satisfying ...
 
I went to accuwheather.com and viewed their source code. The page loads with
ActiveX controls that are signed safe for scripting so that is not the
problem.
However the naming convention of the scripting code "OAS_AD" may be the
cause of your problem if you are using Ad blocking or Popup-blocking
software. Some of these programs work by looking for keywords like "ad" in
the page before it is rendered by the browser.
If this is the case then add these sites to you Ad-blockers trusted listing
or turn it off before navigating to them.
Hope this solves your problem.

I sent problem to accuweather & they came back with very
prompt, very detailed, and very helpful response. I
clicked my IE privacy, security, & advanced back to
default and dleted all accuweather cookies & it worked
fine, as did the other sites I had problems with.

I run adware-checkers manually, so that wasn't the issue --
I guess I clicked something wrong in IE -- I'll have to
go back & figure out what.

Thanks for your efforts !!!!!!!!!!!!!
