Forcing Grey Box of Death

[st33d]

I built a Flash thing recently and thought all was fine until I thought I would check if my site loaded in the local library. I was rewarded with the Eoala (however you spell it) bug.

This never happened at home. I've used the javascript embed method for it from deconcept now to avoid this bug:

But how can I force this bug in IE? I've got IE 6 and the library computer was IE 6 too but only the library computer gave me that awful grey box.

I'm just curious really as to why IE at home tricked me into thinking all was well.

Sure you're on IE 6 at home?

It's an IE6 option under advanced called disable script debugging. If that's checked and you're using swfobject, no grey box. If it's unchecked, ie will try to debug javascript for you using the editor of your choice and will show you the grey box.
