"a web site". And which one might that be?

Trying to resolve general errors that occur over a period of time on
various web sites for different scripts which might be Javascripts or
Java applets is not possible. Got a particular case to look at?

Possible other solutions:
- Purge the temp file cache for your web browser.
- Reset IE7.
- Run IE7 in its no add-ons mode.

It is highly unlikely that the Java interpreter is causing the problem.
More likely there is bad code in the script and is something the web
site owner will have to address. It is also possible that the code
author wrote their Java program to utilize a particular version of a
Java interpreter that you do not have installed. In most cases, users
can simply uninstall all versions of the Java Runtime Environment
interpreter and just download and install the latest version. However,
sometimes functions or methods will change or are altered so that an
older version of the Java interpreter is required. Backwards
compatibility with old code in new versions of the Java interpreter is
not 100%. If the web site author is using code that requires an old
version interpreter, prod them to update their code so users can run
their scripts using the latest version of the Java interpreter.

Javascript is an interpreter already built into your web browser. Java
is a programming language for which an interpreter must be installed on
your host. Javascript and Java are NOT the same thing.
"java 6 update 7" refers to the Java programming language and its
interpreters. You didn't provide an example web site where you see the
errors. With your confusion between Javascript and Java programs (often
called applets) and no example web site, it is unknown if the problem is
with bad Javascript running inside your web browser for a web site or a
bad Java applet that got downloaded to your host to run from there.
Do not mention a vague inference to an error message. Do not truncate
the error message. Do not describe the error message. Show the error
message in its entirety. Having the context also helps, like for which
web page the problem crops up. No web browser can fix coding errors at
the web site. For those, you will need to complain to the web site's
owner/author. You could try running IE7 in its no add-ons mode to
ensure one of those that you installed isn't causing the problem. You
could also try resetting IE7 back to its defaults (Tools -> Options ->
Advanced Options).
