What does this JS error mean?

Post by JayBird »

we have just designed a site for a client which using javascript drop-down menus.

The site has been tested in the office on PC's and MAC all running different browsers of differnet versions...all fine.

We gave the site to the client, but the javascript drop-downs aren't working. The client has the same version of IE that i am using, so the issue isn't with browser version.

The Javascript error that is being reported is:

A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed

to me, this sounds like it could possibly an isolated problem with the clients computer, but i don't know enough about that error message to be surer!?

Any ideas?

Hi Bech,
Where could i look at these posts?
probably google, but search within http://msdn.microsoft.com with differenct combos of the error message (including the word 'error')

Since the script works everywhere else (I'm presuming more than 4 machines) and the user's system is similar to the tested ones (OS & browser), it is not the code.

The error msg implies that one of the user's dll files is corrupted. At the least, you will have to reinstall the dll
