How to disable 'Script Error' prompt when openning a page with script errors

[Fei Yuan]

Hi, I embedded webbrowser within my application acting as an HTML viewer.
However, when an HTML page contains invalid scripts (mostly 'copy-paste'
operation off a website), the viewer throws several 'Internet Explorer
Script Error' prompt pages, and ask user to click 'Yes', or 'No' in order to
continue.

This behavior is highly undesirable since I can see that Outlook never
displays an error message with the same HTML page, nor does Internet
Explorer, which only shows a small warning icon and details on the bottom
left corner instead of an annoying popup message.

Does someone know how do I achieve same effect with the webbrowser OCX
control?

Thanks!

The easiest way is to set Silent property to true. That would just
suppress those prompts. If you want to be smarter and actually get the
text and code of the error, line number and so on, see KB Article

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925
