1148785 2010-10-30 02:43:00 Is anyone else finding that PCworld home page is crashing Internet Explorer 8?

I'm no expert on HTML, but should the file name pomobuttons.js be spelt promobuttons.js?

1148787 2010-10-30 07:15:00 Here's the full story:-

I have NZ PCWorld Home page as my IE home page so everytime I load EI that's what comes up. Over the last week or so it has been reporting 'Done, but with error on the page' in the bottom left of the window. Mostly it has little or no effect but sometimes it gets into a loop of "Internet Explorer has encountered an error and needs to close', it recovers the tab and repeats untill I exit the application.
If I double click the error message, it reports, 'Errors on this webpage might cause it to work incorrectly' followed by a highlighted panel containing:-
Object expected
pomoButtons.js
Code: 0
URI:pcworld.co.nz


If I display the source of the webpage by selecting source on the view menu there is a section of code identified as 'promo buttons' which contains the line "src="pcworld.co.nz

My question is, is this the cause of the 'Done but with errors on the page'
and could this also cause IE 8 to crash and burn?

To answer your question I have not seen it crash on any other web page and it's the only browser I use untill now.

BTW I am running on XP HE SP3 and IE8
