_CF_submit_status variable is making my page have yellow exclamation point (JavaScript?) in IE

Hello, I am using IE 7 to browse a page I'm developing. In IE 7, I get the annoying yellow exclamation point at the lower left of page (see image).

In the past I have seen this associated with JavaScript errors. However, in error window, it says problem is that '_CF_submit_status is undefined'

Does anyone know what this variable is and how I can make it defined so the page looks good?

Thank you!

Clixk on your IE page with the right mouse button and open the page source view Copy that page html source here for analysis.

I understand. Fixed it. The problem was that in the CF Administrator, the directory for ScriptSrc Directory was set to the wrong path. When I changed it to "CFIDE/scripts", message went away.

Thank you!
