  Hi,
  It seems that IE7 has changed the way Frontpage works with external javascript.
  I've found that if I use:
  <SCRIPT SRC="script.js" type="javascript"></SCRIPT> for example, I always receive the 'debug' errors.
  But if I remove the external javascript reference and put the script on the page the debug problem goes away.

  
  It seems others are also seeing this behavior but haven't found a solution yet.

  I've found that changing any external Javascript reference to an absolute address stops the script errors and allows the page to display normally in preview mode.
  
  i.e. replace <SCRIPT SRC="script.js"... with <SCRIPT SRC="http://mysite.com/script.js"...
  
  This works fine but is still a pain if you are working on code within the script as you have to FTP the script to the site.

  Turning off script debugging etc. in IE7 only changes the "script error / start debugging" dialogue, so this isn't the answer :(

  I experienced the same problem a few minutes ago.

  There is some interesting discussion over on the "Visual Studio/VS Debugger/Javascript debugging with IE7" thread about similar problems.  It appears we can't expect much to be done about this - unless MS issues an update to Frontpage as it doesn't look like they will change IE7.

  To MSFT: The code still works in IE7.   So, why can't we still use FrontPage to preview the pages

  This is really frustrating!

  When you press "preview," Frontpage is actually hosting "Trident" (IE) inside of itself. When you upgraded to IE7, the old FrontPage behavior (IE6) was swapped out in favor of IE7--this is why you see a different behavior with Frontpage after upgrading.

  As to the script error, what exactly is being reported

  I get the following:

  Internet Explorer Script Error
  An error has occurred in the script on this page
  Line: 2
  Char: 1
  Error: Invalid character
  Code: 0
  URL: file:///CP/Documents......../FrontPage TempDir/pvw2.htm
  Do you want to continue running scripts on this page

  Don't see any sign of a solution here either.

  Ciao,
