something modifying my javascript.

[KABUSA]

this may not be the right place but,
A customer sent me the source code of one of my pages which was not working properly for him.(Windows XP, IE7)
something in his system is modifying the script tags and commenting out all of the javascript.
essentially, all script tags are changed from <SCRIPT> to look like this: <!--PT>

Has anyone experienced this? Is it a security or advanced setting in IE7?
Do you think it is a virus of some kind?

I could find no info in a general Google search on the subject.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi

I would say it is an overzealous security program. Anti-virus, anti-spyware, filtering proxy, firewall... Could we see that page ?

any of my pages would do this when he used that particular setup.

http://www.kabusa.com/ttables.htm.

for example.

He does have alot of security and firewall programs as he is an online trader and desires high security. I was hoping that this edit signiture(<!--PT>) would be identifiable as a specific program. He cannot seem to disable it.

It could be a Check Point security product doing this. I've not see PT used before - and can't think of a company/product that fits the description.

It's definitely one of those kinds of tools... maybe a firewall rule.

Cheers,
Jeff

Make sure your web page and css validates properly against the doctype you have chosen - before you attempt to debug a problem!

Hi,
thanks.
He indicated he turned off the firewall and it still did it, but perhaps he never re loaded the page to refresh the code.
the way I see this, the code reader is subsituting the first 4 postions SCRI with <!-- and leaving the PT.

I am not going to worry about this, for it is the only time I have heard of it. I think you answered the question.

Just for the record, here is the actual code changes:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript" TYPE="text/javascript">

The altered code looks like this:

<!-- PT LANGUAGE="javascript" TYPE="text/javascript">


Thanks
