Q:
When I visit certain Web sites, I often get the error message of "Done,
but with errors on page." What does that mean and is there anything I
can do to fix it? Please help!

A:
Well, to begin, this error usually only shows up in Internet Explorer
and it mainly has to do with JavaScript. If the Web site you're trying
to view uses JavaScript, you may run into a script related error, which
triggers the "Done, but with errors on page" message. It is usually
generated by an error in the site's code and unless you have access to
that code, you probably won't be able to fix the error yourself. Once
the problem hits a Web site's code, only the developers of the site can
get in and fix it. It looks like this, by the way:



However, when that error pops up, you should still be able to see most
of the site. Just keep in mind that some of its parts may not function
correctly. You might have a missing image or animation here or there,
but most of the site should still be visible. Now, I know some of you
may be worried about the error affecting your computer. You may be
thinking that it's going to harm your PC. Well, I assure you it won't.
The problem lies within that Web site only and there's no way it could
damage your computer. Plus, if you go and visit other sites, you'll see
that they load up just fine. And once the creators of the other site fix
their code, that one will be viewable again as well.

In addition, if you're a Web site designer or editor yourself, you'll
want to keep an eye on your site and make sure the "Done, but with
errors on page" message doesn't pop up at any time. If it does, just go
in and look through your source code. The problem usually comes from an
improper syntax, an incomplete code or a script that is placed in the
wrong HTML section. Just take a look at those things and you should be
able to fix the error rather quickly. Then your site will be back up and
running the way it should be.

As you can see, this error message isn't one to panic about. It's
unfortunate that it happens, but there's not really anything you can do
about it yourself. If there's any way you can contact the designer of
the Web site, do so. They may not even know there's a problem, but if
you tell them, I'm sure they'll get it fixed right away. Otherwise,
you'll just have to sit tight and keep checking back until the problem
is solved. Luckily, it's not an error message that can ruin your whole
day. At least it shouldn't!
