Sometimes I'll be browsing the Web (using IE v. 6.0) and a window will pop up saying:
"A Runtime Error has occurred.
Do you wish to Debug?
Line: 217
Error: Illegal (insignificant whatever)"
If by some chance I choose "Yes," Microsoft Script Editor opens up and I'm presented with the HTML code of the page. Now, how the devil am I, let alone the average Windows XP user, supposed to be able to debug a runtime error in 400+ lines of HTML code? This looks like nothing more than a device to permit Windows/IE users to screw their systems up royally. Why couldn't they just keep these piddling little errors out of our view, the way every previous Windows/IE combination has done.
