Active Desktop Channel with JavaScript May Cause Script Errors in Internet Explorer 5

When you use an Active Desktop channel that contains JavaScript, you may receive script errors. When this occurs, a yellow warning icon appears in the lower-left corner of the browser. If you double-click the icon, you see the following error message: If you click Details, you see a reference to the exact line of code causing the error message.

If a page is not authored to adhere to the European Computer Manufacturers Association (ECMA) 262 Specification for JavaScript, numeric characters that start with 00 in the script in any page are treated as octal numbers.

The Details section of the error message provides a pointer to the exact line of code containing a "00."

To correct this behavior, the numeric characters in the script authored in the "00.x" format need to be modified to the "0.x" or ".x" format.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 is compliant with the ECMA 262 Specification for JavaScript.
