Works for me in IE6. Any site in .gov.uk is a trusted domain, if that
makes any difference.

There's no guarantee of which file line 8, line 4 or line 1 is
actually in. However an invalid character in line 1 may well indicate
that an included JS file isn't Javascript -- probably because it
starts with < -- which may mean that (a) it's corrupted (b) it's not
being downloaded correctly or is being replaced with something else.

When were the security restrictions implemented? 15 April? The modular
parts of the API result in some really odd URLs which your firewall
could be objecting to. If it's possible to do, install Firefox and
Firebug so you can see what's going on. Or: get your network team to
investigate how they have stuffed the Council's own mapping team from
accessing their own handiwork!
