Javascript: Permission Denied -- IE6

[Pat Flickner]

This is kind of a new one. I'm having a very odd problem with some of our users getting "permission denied" when they go directly to the home page of our portal (main.jsp) and try to open up a javascript-controlled link. But if they drop the main.jsp from the URL, the "permission denied" errors disappear. I've gotten the occasional "permission denied" at odd times, but it seems that over the past six months, it's gotten really bad.

However, for me, when I downloaded IE7, the errors completely disappeared. Same happened for my coworker. This is not an option for many of our users. I need to find a way to stop the errors before they happen. And they don't happen consistently, so I'm at a loss to say why this happens in the first place.

Any help now would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Although I didn't get any responses, I did manage to "fix" the problem. Apparently for some of our users, there was a problem when they went directly to the home page's jsp (http://development/default.jsp). On a lark, I had our one user try just lopping off the "default.jsp" since that was how I had mine set up. Sure enough, the javascript "permission denied" errors disappeared. I tried the same thing with a couple of other users who complained of the same problem and got the same results. Now, if anyone can tell me why this "fixes" the problem, I'd really love to know. Thanks.
