JavaScript Error With A Google Ad

December 17th, 2008

While I was adding some new plugins to my blog, I noticed a JavaScript error. (I use the Web Developer add-on for Firefox.) All it said was “Permission denied to call method Location.toString”. What I couldn’t figure out for the life of me was where the error was coming from. I hadn’t noticed it before, and I knew it wasn’t from any of my JavaScript code. What should’ve tipped me off was that in the Firefox error console, when I tried to click on the error, it took me nowhere. (For those not familiar with the console, normally when you click on an error it will lead you to a copy of the file.) However, I still didn’t know what was going on. Then I realized that when using the same plugins locally, I wasn’t getting any errors. However, what I didn’t have locally was the Google footer ad. Once I added this, the error appeared locally. Mystery solved! Well, sort of. At least I know where it’s coming from. I still don’t like the little red exclamation mark in the corner, but at least I know it’s not from me!
