Internet Explorer / IE >> Reporting Web Page Errors

IE7 will detect errors in web pages - Yellow triangle with exclanation mark
in bottom left corner - and if you hit the Details button you get some useful
information about the problem.

Unfortunately you can't highlight, copy & paste this report into an E-mail
to the relevant webmaster. Better still, would be a button that copied the
report to the clipboard so it could be pasted into an E-mail to the webmaster.

Even better, would be if IE7 could find the contact address for the site's
webmaster and automatically create an E-mail containing the error report and
any other useful information, so that in one click the webmaster could be
notified of any problems.

Internet Explorer / IE >> Reporting Web Page Errors Hi Duncan,

The Debug Bar will do much of that functionallity. http://www.debugbar.com

Most web sites do not follow the standards and do not set default email
accounts for postmaster and abuse.

Alot of scripting errors are caused by firewalls and hosts blocking of
external scripts, but by far the biggest reason is slack testing by web
designers who refuse to test for cross browser compatibilities, so it is
hard to tell if an error has been caused by a client setting or the loose
nut holding the keyboard at the server.

Regards.

Hi,

You could always do an ALT||Print Screen to capture an image of the dialog
box you are referring to, and then open up your favorite image program and
click on "Edit||Paste" or "Edit||Paste as new Image"(depending on your image
software). You can then save the image of the dialog box and send it as an
attachment to your email.

Good luck,

Donald Anadell

Internet Explorer / IE >> Reporting Web Page Errors I hear what you're saying, but it would be just as easy for Microsoft to make it
possible to highlight - copy and paste the contents of the text box within that Page
Error dialogue box.

Better still they could include a Copy button on the dialogue box that copied the
contents of the text box and possibly included the URL from the top, so that if a
webmaster E-mail address was found a simple message explaining the problems and page
could be sent.

>I hear what you're saying,
Hi Duncan,

I mentioned the screen capture method because I've always been a firm
believer in the old adage that a picture is worth a thousand words,
especially when it comes to error dialog boxes

>but it would be just as easy for Microsoft to make it possible to
>highlight - copy and paste the contents of the text box within that Page
>Error dialogue box.

There is a way to capture the text only in one of those dialog boxes, a
rather convoluted method at best but I will detail it to you here.

1. When you see one of those Exclamation marks(!) in the lower left side of
the Status bar as depicted here:
http://users.mikrotec.com/danadell/wwwpages/test/errorbox1.html

2. Double clicking on the Exclamation mark(!) will bring up the Error Dialog
box as depicted here:

http://users.mikrotec.com/danadell/wwwpages/test/errorbox2.html

3. Hold down the "Shift" key on your keyboard and use your Left Mouse
button to click on the Dialog box so that everything is selected as depicted
here:

http://users.mikrotec.com/danadell/wwwpages/test/errorbox3.html

4. Now hit CTRL + V to copy the selection to the Clipboard.

5. In the document you wish to paste the text hit CTRL + C to copy the
contents of the clipboard into the document.

The resulting paste operation should look something like this:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Line: 2
Char: 11
Error: Invalid character
Code: 0
URL: http://atlanta.braves.mlb.com/schedule/index.jsp?c_id=atl&m=8&y=2007

Good luck,

Hi Sohill,

Thanks for pointing out the faux pas(typo) in my post. Step #4 should read
CTRL + C, and Step #5 should read CTRL + V
