    Just installed WordPress for the first time on our server and seemingly it installed fine (Windows 2003/IIS 6) and I logged in to create my first post and right when I pull up Add Post I get a JS error. Same with Editing, and it’s not the issue of cutting and pasting from Word as I see in earlier posts, as I haven’t even gotten that far. Error is:

    Webpage error details

    I then switched to Firefox as I can sometimes troubleshoot JS errors better there using Firebug, but lo and behold all works fine. I can’t simply leave it at that though, because my client uses IE and expects it to work on IE. Any ideas?

    If it’s IE6, then its better to ask your client to upgrade his browser.
    Did you check in the core files, what are the codes in the lines that is highlighted in the above two files and in the line numbers? You might get an idea yourself. If the files aren’t there, consider reinstalling the core.

    If you read the error details, the error is occuring on Internet Explorer 8, not 6. Firefox and Internet Explorer handle certain aspects of Javascript differently, so Firebug alone will unlikely report any bugs. You can, however, check to see if anything shows up in the Error Console (Ctrl+Shift+J).

    Try disabling any plugins you have activated to see if anything changes.
