• A problem exists in the HTML source code of the webpage.
• The web page is using newer technologies that are not supported by Internet Explorer.

Resolution

Microsoft encourages you update your system with the latest windows update available. For more information about Windows Update, see FAQ.

Step 1: Make sure that script errors occur on multiple webpages

If the only sign of this problem is the error message, and the websites are working, you can probably ignore the error. Also, if the problem occurs on one or two webpages, the problem may be caused by those pages. If you decide to ignore the errors, you can disable script debugging.В To do it, select the Disable script debugging (Internet Explorer) checkbox in Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing settings.

If this problem occurs on more than one or two sites, don’t disable script debugging.

Step 2: Make sure that the problem is caused by files or settings on your computer

To narrow down the source of the problem, use another user account, another browser, or another computer to view the webpages that triggered the script error.

If the script error doesn’t occur when you view the webpage through another user account, in another browser, or on another computer, the problem may be caused by files or settings on your computer. In this situation, follow the methods in this article to resolve this problem:

After you complete each method, try to open a webpage on which you previously received a scripting error. If you don’t receive the error, the problem is resolved.

Method 1: Verify that Active Scripting, ActiveX, and Java are not being blocked by Internet Explorer

Active scripting, ActiveX, and Java are all involved in shaping the way that information is displayed on a webpage. If these features are blocked on your computer, it may disrupt the display of the webpage. You can reset your Internet Explorer security settings to make sure these features aren’t blocked. To do it, follow these steps:

Start Internet Explorer.

On the Tools menu, select Internet Options. If you can’t see the Tools menu, press Alt to display the menus.

In the Internet Options dialog box, select the Security tab.

Select Default Level > OK.

ActiveX controls and Java programs are turned off in the High security level in Internet Explorer.

Method 2: Remove all temporary Internet files

Every time that you open a browser to view a webpage, your computer stores a local copy of that webpage in a temporary file. If the size of the temporary Internet files folder becomes too large, some display problems may occur when you open webpages. Periodically clearing the folder might help to resolve the problem.

To remove all the temporary Internet-related files for Internet Explorer.

Start Internet Explorer.

On the Tools menu, select Internet Options. If you can’t see the Tools menu, press Alt to display the menus.

Select the General tab.

Under Browsing History, select Delete.

In the Delete Browsing History dialog box, select the following check boxes, and then select Delete:

• Temporary Internet Files
• Cookies
• History

Select Close, and then select OK to close the Internet Options dialog box.

Method 3: Install the latest software updates for Windows

To stay up to date, select the Start button > SettingsВ > Update & SecurityВ > Windows Update, and then select Check for updates.

Advanced debugging

This section is intended for more advanced computer users. It includes three methods to help resolve the problem.

Method 1: Verify that active scripting, activeX, and java are not blocked by an antivirus program or by a firewall

Scripts, ActiveX controls, and Java programs help shape the way a webpage is displayed. If these features are blocked, it may disrupt the display of webpages.

To make sure that scripts, ActiveX controls, and Java programs aren’t blocked, see the documentation for the firewall or antivirus program that you use. Then make any necessary changes.

Method 2: Verify that your antivirus program isn’t set to scan the Temporary Internet Files or the Downloaded Program Files folders

If an antivirus program interprets a script as a virus, and prevents it from running, a script error may occur. To prevent this issue, make sure that the antivirus program isn’t scanning the Temporary Internet Files folder or the Downloaded Program Files folder.

To prevent the program from scanning these folders, see the documentation for the antivirus program that you use. Then make any necessary changes. For adding exclusions to Windows Security in Windows 10 environments review, Add an exclusion to Windows Security.

Method 3: Turn off Smooth Scrolling

If you experience a video display problem, the Smooth Scrolling feature may cause a script to be timed incorrectly. It can generate a script error. To turn off the Smooth Scrolling feature in Internet Explorer, follow these steps:

1. Start Internet Explorer.
2. On the Tools menu, select Internet Options. If you can’t see the Tools menu, press Alt to display the menus.
3. On the Advanced tab, clear the Use Smooth Scrolling check box.
