   Hi,

   I am trying to redirect my current website to my wordpress.com blog, but I get a javascript error in IE 7 beta2 when trying that, can't execute code from a freed script, line 27:

   The problem is somewhere here:
   function addLoadEvent(func) {
   var oldonload = window.onload;
   if (typeof window.onload != 'function') {
   window.onload = func;
   } else {
   window.onload = function() {
   oldonload();
   func();
   }
   }
   }

   Does anybody know of a solution? Or is this an IE 7 beta2 problem? You can see the problem live by going to:

   It's nothing to do with IE7.

   WordPress.com blogs do not allow the use of javascript. It is stripped when the page/widget/post is saved. This is due to the security implications of javascript.

   drmike (a few days ago) posted links to reports on gmail, myspace and I think blogger being hacked because they allowed javascript.

   Yes, but shouldn't the template I am using then be updated and the javascript removed? The javascript is in the template. I am using the Regulus 2 template.

   He's trying to load and run the script over at his old site I believe.

   I would think that this would be better handled with a htaccess redirect.

   redirect permanent * http: //osgis.wordpress.com

   Note space added after the colon to get it to display correctly.

   Okay, thanks for the tip.

   I got it to work by placing an empty index.htm and the following .htaccess:

   RewriteEngine on
   RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
   RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^osgis\.wordpress\.com [NC]
   RewriteRule ^index.htm$ http:// osgis.wordpress.com/ [R=301,L]
