a few people have complained about the
A Runtime error has occurred. Do you wish to Debug?
error

how can i take care of it?

or at least what can i post in a faq to show them how to fix it locally?

This is an IE thing - and the user can disable the error message.

Tools > Internet Options
Select "Advanced"
Check the option under "Browsing" that says "Disable script debugging."

Then you need a re-boot for it to take effect.

If this happens on pages that you maintain, then I'd suggest you find the cause of the error. Rarely (if you recently changed a script) IE may be using an older version of the javascript from its cache. But normally, that message means there really is an error in the javascript.

if it is an error on your site then you could

use a moz variant and type 'javascript:' into the location bar and hit enter

the js debugger will show the real error and make it easier to find/fix

<added>I love how IE opens my developer studio to debug js errors, makes me laugh every time, seems a bit like overkill

i personally have not run into it on MY site, but my laptop errored out on my server's control pannel, guess i'll have to notify support

thanks for the help
