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. > Can someone please try either in IE6 to see if they work. > We're trying to work out if it's something our (end as the friendly > network team have implemented a ton of new security restrictions) or a > general thing with IE6.
