IE7/IE8访问EBS系统出现"找不到元素"的错误

 错误如下:

解决办法如下:

The user had resolved this problem on every affected PC as follows...

Steps to follow are:

1. Open up the Registry editor - type regedit on command prompt.
2. Look for the key shown below
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{EAB22AC0-30C1-11CF-A7EB-0000C05BAE0B}\1.1\0\win32
3. Click on the "Default" row and see the value there. If it's value is "C:\WINDOWS\system32\shdocvw.dll", then that is what causes the above mentioned issue. If you have installed Windows in a different drive; C:\ must be replaced with the that letter.
4. Replace that value with "C:\WINDOWS\system32\ieframe.dll".

为什么会出现这个问题,微软的IE那就不清楚了,感觉从IE6 update上去的IE版本可能出现这个问题,大家也可以写个批处理,手动在动态注册一下IE的DDL.
看看Oracle Metalink上对这个错误的描述

The reason is that window.external is not a valid method for window object.
This problem may happen if you've registered the module shdocvw.dll, after Internet Explorer 8 was installed. This is just another side-effect caused by the registration of shdocvw.dll in a system running Internet Explorer 8.

 

The registry key value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\TypeLib\{EAB22AC0-30C1-11CF-A7EB-0000C05BAE0B}\1.1\0\win32\
was set incorrectly to point to shdocvw.dll instead of ieframe.dll.
