SYMPTOMS
When you try to create a broker account, and you get a Java script error message, the broker account is successfully created. However, in order to continue to use SysAdmin, you must press the Enter key several times or restart Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE).

The script breaks after you click the Save button on the Create Membership Broker Account page. The message should be shown in an IE window, instead it displays on a blank page in raw HTML.



CAUSE
The problem appears to have been that the  tags appeared outside both the  and  tags in the code. International versions of the browser appear to be much less tolerant of code-ordering sloppiness than the English version of IE that this was originally tested with.

The Java script calls in the twelve Active Server Pages (ASP) files listed below currently reside in the wrong sections of the HTML code, which causes a string sent to the IE alert box to dump on its own unformatted Web page.

The affected files:   Apadd.asp Apmem.asp Approp.asp Stban.asp Stlist.asp Stmem.asp Stuser.asp Uaadd.asp Ualist.asp Ugadd.asp Ugmem.asp Ugprop.asp
