Problems with IE8

[Mark]

For a couple of days now I've been having problems with IE8. Every now and

then I get the following error



Webpage error details



User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible MSIE 8.0 Windows NT 6.1 Trident/4.0

GTB6.5 SLCC2 .NET CLR 2.0.50727 .NET CLR 3.5.30729 .NET CLR 3.0.30729

Media Center PC 6.0 Media Center PC 5.0 SLCC1 Tablet PC 2.0)

Timestamp: Wed, 2 Jun 2010 16:11:08 UTC





Message: 'null' is null or not an object

Line: 3

Char: 991

Code: 0

URI:

s



Does anyone have any idea whats causing it or how to fix it? I've run a

virus scan thinking this might be whats causing these issues but that came

back showing no problems.

See the section entitled "Problem: Overlong headers result in HTTP/4xx or

HTTP/5xx errors..." (and the related script) towards the very bottom of this

Do you employ any filtering of web content? Ad-blockers, IE8's

InPrivate Filtering, anti-malware that include URL blocking, using a

'hosts' file to block ad or malicious sites, etc. If you filter out

content then you can also filter out scripts that define objects that

another script expects to have been defined. For example, if you filter

out Google's crap (like their analytics and other tracking sites) and

because many sites use Google's services for tracking, you end up

blocking a script that defines objects that another script expects to be

defined. Blocking ads and other content can result in script errors.
