Script error "Permission Denied", only in XP SP2

[Joe King]

I found this problem in September that only related to XP SP2. A
"Permission Denied" script error that began occurring in a rare circumstance
for a single customer, that wasn't related to the usual "cross-frame
scripting" security. I could reproduce it only with IE6, XP SP2 and I could
not find workaround from a DHTML stand point. I tried everything I could
think of to change the code. Even more puzzling is that the error only
occurs on the initial page load, it would never occur on an F5 refresh.

I found a few other reports of this problem in the newsgroups and on forums,
but no one has reported a DHTML solution. This appears to effect a very
small minority of websites. I'm hoping somebody has found some concrete
info regarding this problem and a solution in the last 2 months.

Here are some other threads regarding it (the first one has a small sample
page):

Dear Joe,

This behavior may occur if your Internet Service Provider (ISP) uses
auto-configuration servers with Internet Explorer.

To resolve this behavior, disable auto-configuration in Internet
Explorer. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.

2. Double-click the Internet icon.

3. Click the Connection tab.

Note To access the auto-configuration settings for Internet Explorer
version 5.0 and later, click the LAN Settings button on the Connection
tab.

4. In the Automatic Configuration box, click the Configure
button.

5. Remove the text in the URL text box.

6. Click OK, and then click OK again.


Please try the above steps. Your issue will be resolved.

regards,

Anand
