While initiating a chat session in the embedded Sametime client of Lotus Notes 8.0.1 I got the message “A Runtime Error has occured. Do you wish to debug? Line: 0 Error: Object expected”.
This also happened when another person started a chat with me.
The solution was to check the following options in Internet Explorer (Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced):
Disable Script Debugging (Internet Explorer)
Disable Script Debugging (Other)
I also unchecked the option “Display a notification about every script error”.
After that the embedded Sametime client worked as expected again.
Try disabling JavaScript debugging in IE. That should fix it.
Hi Bruce,
I think that “Disable Script Debugging (Internet Explorer) /
Disable Script Debugging (Other)” was the option you meant?
That was what I did and it worked for me.
Unfortunately this is a block to rollout for us. We simply cant turn off disable script debugging for a large group of java/html developers… Its essential to their job.
I have escalated to IBM L2 and they say it wont be fixed until 8.0.2. This is ridiculous.
Anyone have other ideas for a workaround?
Andy
