When viewing web pages I'm receiving many java script errors.Unable to use many buttons for instance in internet e-mail. Error always says something to the effect "line xxx character 1 object expected.code 0." What does this mean and how can I correct it? Is this a browser problem(IE 6) or OS problem (W2K Pro) Help!

How to Troubleshoot Script Errors in Internet Explorer

Neither, it's the people programming the web pages with script errors. Obviously they didn't test the code well (or not at all in the new browsers) and it is throwing errors. Aside from disabling script, which renders many pages useless, contact theadmin of the site and let them know their script is failing in IE6. IE6 and NN6 are new browsers and many sites haven't updated yet.
I have IE6 with Wind2KPro. There is no problem with either.
