 Description   

In Internet Explorer 7.0 you regularly get Javascript errors with the debugger on, like this:

A Runtime Error has occurred.
Line: xxxx
Error: Object required

This is related to the getMousePos() function located in 'javascript.js', that is loaded in Author mode:

function getMousePos(evt)
{
var x,y;
if (document.all)
{
x=window.event.clientX+document.body.scrollLeft;

Apparently 'window.event'clientX' or 'document.body.scrollLeft' are not always available and should be checked if they are undefined.

Using the patch from MAGNOLIA-3013 might possibly fix this error.

Issue doesnt seem to be related to MAGNOLIA-3013. Patch from that issue wont help.
