Re: "Access is denied" using dhtml - window.moveTo( 0, 0);

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi again!

The answer of your question is that it is already on the desktop.

I have done some more testing and this is what I have come up with.
I have a web page called www.dn.se (swedish newspaper) as the browsers
default startup page and it seems like the error "Access is denied" only
occurs (not always) then I have wisited this site (done some clicking) and
then return to my work by entering the address to it in the browsers address
field.
If I start a new browser and halts the load of the default startup page I
have not yet experienced the error "Access is denied" then I try to move the
browser by java code.

This is a very strange error since it seems like there is somthing hanging
on from the www.dn.se site. Is there any way to reset the I.E. browsers
(version 4.01 and up) completely then loading new pages into them?

Thanks, Ardax
