Is this fixed now? The only unusual things that I noticed at the
site were: their inline scripts are "Encoded" and they don't specify
a characterset. Consequently with Encoding set to Auto-Select
I found that Baltic (Windows) was being chosen as the characterset
at first! Then I switched Auto-Select off and forced Western European
(Windows) to be selected. Then I switched Auto-Select back on
and found that Western European (Windows) was still being selected.
I was expecting it to select a characterset based on the data but
perhaps if it isn't specified and the data gives no clues it just sticks
with whatever the current encoding is?
i have had no problems with it up to now i
get the following message
Line: 289
Char: 4
Error: Object doesn't support this property or method
URL:

i am using XP sp2 ie6 version 6.0.2900
any ideas?
You haven't mentioned your security settings. HTC could be
blocked by them. In any case, I don't like the idea of letting
unknown content, script or program extensions, run on my machine.
Using obfuscated code may only be a matter of protecting
intellectual property but it is also a good way to hide malicious intentions.
FWIW the files are cached so you can drag them to a
Notepad window to at least see the headers for this object:
<example>
<public:component lightWeight="false">
<public:attach event="ondocumentready" onevent="Main()"/>
<public:method name="GetMediaFromGuid"/>
<public:method name="Cancel"/>
<public:method name="PlayEvent"/>
<public:method name="EndAd"/>
<public:method name="Play"/>
<public:method name="AddPL"/>
<public:method name="MDlink"/>
<public:method name="Glink"/>
<public:method name="GetCkVal"/>
<public:method name="PromptInvite"/>
<public:method name="PromptSurvey"/>
<public:method name="TaxTimeout"/>
<public
roperty name="adPlaying" internalname="_adPlaying"/>
</example>
Unfortunately the error message is only designed to help those
with access to the script source and doesn't even give us a clue
about which method or which object it is complaining about.
