Re: VBScript Error in MSIE 4 (Mac)

[Tracy Stampfli]

Yes,

MSIE 4 on the mac (and just version 4, version 3 works fine) does not

support VBScript. And not only do it not support VBScript, but it runs the

irritating alert that you mention when ever a page containing VBScript is

loaded.

This is mentioned in the Aftershock readme as a known issue, and it

contains a workaround, which is the following - on the Scripting tab, check

the box that allows installation of the ActiveX Control on Internet

Explorer. Then there will be no VBScript, and no alert.

The next version of Aftershock (coming soon) will be able to avoid this

problem by testing for IE4 on the Mac & not writing the VBScript.
