Question : The object invoked has disconnected from its clients.

The javascript code below works fine in IE7, but bombs in IE8.  See the error below.  Can anyone tell me why?  I need it to work in IE8.

It bombs on line 4 at the 'while'

function browseIt(){    
      var xBrowser = new ActiveXObject("InternetExplorer.Application");
      xBrowser.navigate(submitterUrl);
      while(xBrowser.readyState != READYSTATE_COMPLETE){
          //no doevents in javascript
      }
}

Answer : The object invoked has disconnected from its clients.

...no clue what that means...

Ok... here's how I just got it working.
Main guide & inspiration: http://www.xbox-linux.org/wiki/Xbox_HDTV_HOWTO#X11

With my Classic XBox (Xebian Linux) and 32" Sova TV...
(1) Got FBSet code working in /etc/fb.modes (executable via fbset 720p)
<See code window below>
(2) Found http://www.arachnoid.com/modelines/        <-- This is what I needed as an answer to my question
(3) Played with the modeline in multiples of 8 for the values shown below of 1384 1648 and 1698 in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 until I reached the proper horizontal fit...
