"New browser"?? Mozilla has been around since '98, and before that, it was actually called "Netscape" :thumb:

Actually Mozilla is an open source browser that Netscape is based on. It is a seperate thing.

Firefox is the newest mozilla browser and works great...best browser out there.

Skip the pop up blockers...Firefox and Mozilla have them build in.

Yeah. I figured that the actual details of the relationship were not very relevant or interesting. :D

Sufficed to say, Mozilla has been around for quite a long time............. I've personally been using it for over 4 years.

Same here...IE just blows...
I used Netscape until the point that they became Netscape Communicator, and the load times for the browser became completely unacceptable. That was an appallingly bloated piece of software. I found the development versions of Mozilla to be a little too unstable/quirky. Switched back to IE until I found Firefox :D

Yeah - Communicator was a bit of a hog. At that point I had switched to Opera...... then Mozilla. IE was always the "last on the list" browser for me. The Browser of Last Resort as it were. ;)

Opera was a good browser but it just didn't have enough plugin support.

IE really isn't a bad browser, it's got a full feature list, is widely supported, and probably has the best CSS support of any browser on the planet.

Of course, being as widely used as it is, it also has the most security holes...

I'm getting all these script errors when I open up pages. It seems pretty random. any ideas for a fix?
What browser are you using? Have you tried a different browser? If so, did it also give errors?
Are you running any Pop Up blocker software? If so, what?
When was the last time it worked OK? Has ANYTHING been changed or done to the PC since then?
What O.S.?
Is it only RM or do other pages give script errors?
What did the error say?
Have you Rebooted yet?

If you want, PM or email me and we'll see what we can come up with, I am on vacation for the next two weeks and have some free time.
