Hi:

I have had a basic java script called from some of my pages for a while. Basically, just a disable right click js... I have occasionally seen an error from that script in my error logs, but VERY occasionally... I just figured it might have been misread or something, and just gone on.

Well, starting this morning for some reason, I have 1000's of errors on this little js in MY error logs. The log entrys looks like this:

[Sun Mar 30 12:44:32 2003] [error] Unterminated <> operator at /Path/to/menu.js line 1.

[Sun Mar 30 12:44:40 2003] [error] Unterminated <> operator at /Path/to/menu.js line 1, <INFILE> line 12.

[Sun Mar 30 12:44:45 2003] [error] Unterminated <> operator at /Path/to/menu.js line 1, <INFILE> line 9.

I put in three to show you there are some variation in the error.

OK, what I do not understand:

1) Why this just started now going crazy when this script has been up and running for over a year.
2) Why I would even see an error at all on a java script (wouldn't the error- if there is one- be on the client side?)
3) Why the error changes (the above three are consecutive errors, and none to the same IP -or- UA!)

Thanks for any help on this!

Hi:

I THINK I found it, so I thought I would post incase anyone else ever had this problem...

I noticed this thread in this same forum...

[webmasterworld.com...]

I particular, this:

>>The language= attribute is deprecated and should be replaced with the type= attribute. So, for an external js file link: <script type="text/javascript" src="source/to/file.js">

I had this called BOTH ways, JUST IN CASE (I can be not too smart sometimes) like this:

<script type="text/javascript" language=Javascript src="source/to/file.js">

I pulled out the "language=Javascript " part at 9:20 this morning, and now I just looked at my logs... LOTS of errors prior to 9:20.... and NONE after!

So, I think that is it! Strange that it would just start in earnest so recently, as this same code has been on the site a loong time...

Anyway, thanks!

It certainly is unusual carfac! What browser is showing the errors? I'm wondering if the browser is intolerant of deprecated tags....
