ASP app IE errors with Win 2003

[kkres]

I have a classic ASP application that runs fine on IIS on win 2000 or IIS on
XP. But recently a client installed it on Win 2003 and now consistently gets
an Internet Explorer-side error:' syntax error line ... char 1' when he
browses to it with IE 6.0.
When client moved the whole app as-is to an XP machine and then browsed to
it, he had no problem. I suspect the error involves client-side javascript. I
am looking into it; in the meantime:
Are there a known issues of this kind involving IE 6.0 and windows 2003 ??
Thanks!

The browser doesn't really know or care what operating system the server is
running. All the browser is looking for is some html. Is there ASP code
that is generating client-side code that has changed?

This is a JavaScript error, not an ASP error. I suggest posting the code
that *causes* the error to a client-side scripting newsgroup.

I doubt it, unless you are writing conditional JavaScript based on either
the server or client OS... is the error only happening on the machine in
isolation, or does the error happen when the ASP is running on Win2003,
whether you browse to it locally *or* from IE on an XP box?

The security settings on IIS 6 default to a higher level. You will need to
lower this level to execute Javascript. You may also need to enable parent
paths (defaults to true on IIS 5 and false on IIS 6).

I don't think this is the full picture. The javascript is executing, but he
is getting a syntax error.
