This code snippet keeps appearing in my pages, sometimes several times to a page. I have no idea where this is coming from. It appears in 'View Source' but not in the edit facility in cpanel.<br /><br />Thoughts?<br /><br /><!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1--><script language="JavaScript"><br /><!--<br /><br />function SymError()<br />{<br />  return true;<br />}<br /><br />window.onerror = SymError;<br /><br />var SymRealWinOpen = window.open;<br /><br />function SymWinOpen(url, name, attributes)<br />{<br />  return (new Object());<br />}<br /><br />window.open = SymWinOpen;<br /><br />//--><br /></script><!--c2--></div><!--ec2--> <br /><br />And then later...<br /><br /><!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1--><script language="JavaScript"><br /><!--<br />var SymRealOnLoad;<br />var SymRealOnUnload;<br /><br />function SymOnUnload()<br />{<br />  window.open = SymWinOpen;<br />  if(SymRealOnUnload != null)<br />     SymRealOnUnload();<br />}<br /><br />function SymOnLoad()<br />{<br />  if(SymRealOnLoad != null)<br />     SymRealOnLoad();<br />  window.open = SymRealWinOpen;<br />  SymRealOnUnload = window.onunload;<br />  window.onunload = SymOnUnload;<br />}<br /><br />SymRealOnLoad = window.onload;<br />window.onload = SymOnLoad;<br /><br />//--><br /></script><!--c2--></div><!--ec2--><br /><br />Thanks and Happy Holidays <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /><!--content-->
Hi Boxturt,<br /><br />Which domain is this on? I checked your main account and couldn't see it in the source.<!--content-->
I did a bit more digging ....<br /><br />My guess at the moment is that you are using Norton. From the symantic website,<br /><br /><!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->SymError() is inserted into Web site source code after installing Norton Internet Security, Norton AntiSpam, or Norton Personal Firewall<br /><br />Situation:<br />When you browse the Web, you see a SymError( ) function inserted into the Web page source code.<br />Solution:<br />The SymError() function is a normal activity of the Ad Blocking feature in your Norton program. Unless you experience specific problems because of this function, then you do not need to do anything.<br /><br />However, if you require that this function disappear, then you may disable Ad Blocking to stop the SymError() function from appearing in most Web pages.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br />You can try disabling the Ad blocking, and see if it goes away<!--content-->
Thanks Andy. <br /><br />Annoying. Unfortunately the Norton Ad-block IS disabled but the code is still there. Ill have a better look at things after work today. Thanks again. <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /><!--content-->
Ok, turns out the Ad-Block was <i>disabled</i> and Pop-up Blocker was <i>ENABLED</i> thusly the problem and when disabled the code did go away.<br /><br />How very odd indeed.<!--content-->
I'm glad it's sorted <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> <br /><br />Thanks for letting us know<!--content-->
