Question

I am using IE 8 and i am geting this error: Your browser is not supported for this application. How to disable this error in IE?

Answer 1

The error is coming from the script at http://www.sunnycars.com/mode/item/script_check.js.

var ie5=document.getElementById?document.all?true:false:false;
var ie55=document.getElementById?document.all?(navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE 5.5")!=-1)?true:false:false:false;
...
oldie = ie4?(ie5?(ie55?false:(ie6?false:(ie7?false:true))):true):false;

In other words the joker who wrote this thinks that any browser that supports document.all but which doesn’t have “MSIE 5.5” to “MSIE 7.0” in the User-Agent string, must be IE5.0 and thus too old. The idea that there might be newer versions of IE than 7, or other browsers that support document.all, never seems to have crossed their mind.

UA-sniffing is highly questionable at the best of times but this is a particularly bone-headed specimen. If you are the webmaster for this site, the best thing to do would be to get rid of this script completely, as it doesn’t do anything worthwhile and never did. You’ll probably also want to look at updating the rest of the scripting, which also exhibits signs of decay.

If you are just a visitor to this site, the only thing you can do to avoid the error is to stop visiting it.
