# Runtime error in MS IE?

 * Hello!
    Normally I use Opera as my default browser, but I was testing WP with
   MS IE 6 (according to the info menu: version 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.030422-1633),
   and I have found an irritating error. I logged in as admin and wanted to edit
   a category. I clicked on “Edit” at the category “General” because I want to rename
   it. No problem at all – at this point. But when I moved the cursor into the form
   field in which “General” stands the errors began. When I tried to begin to change
   the name I received a runtime error in MS IE. A window occurs and said “Fehler–
   Es ist ein Laufzeitfehler aufgetreten. Soll der Debug-Modus gestartet werden?
   Zeile: 63 Fehler: null ist Null oder kein Objekt” (in english: runtime error 
   occured. should the debug modus be started? line: 63 error: nul is nul or no 
   object) Every time I enter a new character to rename the category I get this 
   error. But it is possible to rename it. Since I haven’t modified anything at 
   WP (at the moment… *g*) and since MS IE 6 isn’t modified, too (only the standard
   windows updates have been downloaded) – it can’t be my fault… 😉 (I bet on Microsoft*
   g*) Bye, Jens

 * heh… they mis-spelled “null”. If the devs did make a mistake, you’ll have to 
   go in an find where it calls that javascript in the php file and change it from“
   nul” to “null”.

 * That’s an IE error, and one that reporting for can be switched off.
    IE Options
   > Advanced > disable script debugging Enusre that box is checked, and then see
   what happens.

 * Okay, I will try it with the “disable script debugging” option. And I will force
   the editors to use another browser like Netscape or Opera. 🙂
