javascript error in every page

#1 (**permalink**) 05-06-2007, 07:43 AM

Hi everybody,

I was noticing that every page I browsed in IE7 was sending the same
javascript error every time: "Object Expected"

After seeing this in every page, including plain html files with no
javascript whatsoever, i realized that the following line is being added
before the closing <HTML> tag:

"<script type="text/javascript">_popupControl();</script>"

This line is always inserted before the final </html> tag.
I was wondering if this could be due to an IE7 add-on, plugin or something
like that but I can't figure what's causing this.

Any word of advice wold be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Andrë

What if you right click the IE icon on the desktop and choose Start Without
Add-ons?
Or go to Start | All Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Internet
Explorer (No Add-ons).

Frank, I keep getting the error in the No AddOns IE. When I right click and
select Veiw Source code, the _popupControl() line is there.

Ok, I found it!

I happen to be using CA Personal Firewall, and the popup window blocker is
the one inserting the _popupControl() line at the bottom of every page
visited.

Once I disabled the CA Personal Firewall Popup Window Bolcker, the problem
dissapeared.
