SYMPTOMS
When you use an Autoproxy script to return proxy server settings to the browser, the browser may ignore the script. If you have a script debugger installed, then you may receive an error.



CAUSE
This behavior is by design.

Non-standard JavaScript commands that work in other browsers do not work in Internet Explorer.



RESOLUTION
Use only the standardized commands for Autoproxy scripts. For a list of such commands, please go to the following Internet address:

Netscape Navigator allows a number of JavaScript commands, other than the standard Autoproxy commands, to be processed in the Autoproxy file. Many users attempt to use the same script that works under Netscape Navigator in Internet Explorer. Because these commands are not standard JavaScript commands, they do not work in Internet Explorer. Therefore, you must remove any non-standard JavaScript commands from the Autoproxy file in order to have it work in Internet Explorer.
