How to Suppress / Disable Script Errors in WebBrowser Control

Hi all.

I am currently writing an application that uses the WebBrowser control to perform operations on web pages.Unfortunately I stumbled upon a very annoying problem, sometimes an Internet explorer script error window pops up and stops all execution until you click the OK button.I’ve searched the web for hours and the same answer came up:it’s easy (so easy, yeah…) just do this:

WebBrowser.Silent = true;the problem is that WebBrowser does not have a property named silent!!!!!! Maybe it did, but no more! if you don’t believe me take a a look at the MSDN.What you should do is use (which I have missed when i looked in the MSDN… )

WebBrowser.ScriptErrorsSuppressed = true;

which does exists…

Hope this helps some frustrated people (like me).

Happy holidays

Amit

    For Wpf WebBrowser control you can try a javascript injection technique. This worked for me :)

    Nail,

    You can insert the code right after you instantiate your web browser object. In my program I placed this “webcontrol.ScriptErrorsSuppressed = true;” in my onformload method.
