    Periodically, I get a popup on my desktop that says:


    A Runtime Error has occured.
    Do you wish to debug?

    Line:567
    Error: '0.firstChild.style' is null or not an object

    Yes No

    When I click "Yes":

    - "Just In Time Debugging" pops up
    - I click the only possible debugger, "New instance of Microsoft Script Editor"
    - I click yes
    - "Step Into Remote Procedure Call" pops up in a Word-ish program
    - I choose "Script" to debug
    - The process is "[3220] C:\WINDOWS\svchost.exe"
    - I click "Ok"
    - "Microsoft Visual Design Studio" pops up
    - It says: "Microsoft JScript runtime error: '0.firstChild.style' is null or not an object
    - I have a choice of Break, Continue, or Help
    - Help is useless
    - Continue makes it pop up again
    - Break lets me edit the text
    - The line is:
    elm[0].firstChild.style.background = "none";
    - The whole script is:

    Hi :)
    You could try this just to see if this helps ?
    Symptoms of the problem

    It seems to work perfectly. I havent got that silly error for about 12 hours, when before it was coming every 15 min. Thanks!:)

    Also, i think that the problem was due to the new Facebook website.
