script debugger

[Jen Lawson]

I'm still fairly new at some things on the computer.
Often when I'm on the Internet I get a message telling me
that there is a running error and asking me if I want to
debug. I can't find anything on this in the help menu.
What is debugging?, how does it work?, what's it for?
etc.

Please Help!

Some web pages are written with Javascript programs, if the programs
have bugs (mistakes or errors in the code), then you get a dialog box
to debug. This is useful for the developers of the page but not for
you. You can turn it off in Internet Options, Advanced, Disable Script
debugging.
