What happens when you add/remove current site as trusted site?

Question

What happens when you add/remove the current site, while logged on, as a trusted site?

When users do this on our website, and then try to click on a link or close the browser, they get the following JavaScript exception:

"Microsoft JScript runtime error: 'type' is null or not an object"

in the below library code at the line "var etype = this.type = e.type.toLowerCase();"

Sys.UI.DomEvent = function Sys$UI$DomEvent(eventObject) {
