JavaScript errors are fairly common because Web pages don't always work perfectly with every computer. Error message boxes only pop up on Internet Explorer and are actually only useful to the people who are building Web pages.
If you see a JavaScript error message, it won't hurt your computer, but it means that the game might not work perfectly. Since the messages can be confusing, you can decide if you'd like to turn off the messages.
To turn off JavaScript error messages in Internet Explorer for Windows:
- Click on the "Tools" menu at the top of the window.
- Select "Internet Options" from the list you see.
- Click on the "Advanced" tab. You'll see a window with a really long list of check boxes.
- Look for "Display a notification about every script error." If the check box next to it
has a check mark, click on it to clear it out.
- Click on the "OK" button.
If you use Internet Explorer on a Macintosh computers, you'll likely see more of these messages than most people using a PC. Many older Web pages were built before Internet Explorer was available for Macintosh, so they weren't tested with that browser.
To turn off JavaScript error messages in Internet Explorer for Macintosh:
- Click on the "Edit" menu at the top of the screen,
- Select "Preferences."
- You should see a list on the left side. At the top of that list is "Web Browser." Below it you should see "Web Content." (If you don't see it, click on the word "Web Browser" to make the list below it expand. You should be able to see it then.)
- Click on "Web Content." There will be a check box at the bottom of the window labeled "Show scripting error alerts." If the check box next to it has a check mark, click on it to clear it out.
- Click on the "OK" button.
There are a number of JavaScript games that will not work with the Macintosh versions of Internet Explorer 4.5 or lower. To improve your experience, we recommend you download the most recent version of Internet Explorer for Macintosh..
