Syntax error, also called script error, is caused by incorrect code that displays an error message or results in a Web page that does not load correctly. Although syntax error may seems very difficult to be understand, it is actually simple to be settled. In most of the cases, a syntax error can be solved by altering the browser settings.
For Internet Explorer (IE), the solution is:
- Open Internet explorer on your desktop
- Go to upper tool bar, click “Tools” and select “Internet Options.” This will display the Internet Options window.
- Go to the “Advanced” tab and scroll down to the “Browsing” section.
- Remove the check from the box for “Disable script debugging (Internet Explorer),” “Disable script debugging (Other)” and “Display a notification about every script error.”
- Click the “Apply” button to save the changes. Click the “OK” button to close the Internet Options window.
- Close and restart the Internet Explorer browser for the changes you made to take effect.
For Firefox, the solution is:
- Open Mozilla firefox from the desktop icon.
- Type “about:config” into the address bar and press the “Enter” key. Type “dom.max_script_run_time” into the Filter text box and press the “Enter” key.
- Double-click “dom.max_script_run_time” to display the Enter Integer Value dialog box.
- Input a value of “10″ or “15″ into the text box and click the “OK” button to save the change.
- Close and then restart the Firefox browser for the change to take effect.
Additional suggestion: If altering the script setting does not solve the syntax error, there may be more serious problem. It is suggested that you download a registry cleaner in your computer, install it and do a thorough scan of your system to remove the registry errors. It will make sure that your browser is not infected or blocked by corrupted registry.
