It does NOT happen here, but I frequently get it somewhere else. What does it mean (i plain language) ?

An "exception error" simply means that an error occurred and that more information about the error can be found in the "exception object".
If it throws an exception on line 24, it probably means that the object "fp" doesn't have a "getParent" method (or the getParent method generated an error itself). The exception object should be able to tell what exactly caused this.

Do you see this error regardless of the browser used?
Sounds like it might be an error in the page itself... can you share the link? (or is it "naughty"?) We LIKE "Naughty"!

Can't share it. Not naughty. It's a military veterans website visible to members only.
Yes, the error is acrross the board as far as browsers goes.

Thank you!! But, that, is above my own meager brain's paygrade. I just wondered if it was something on my (users) end or the page itself. I'll let them figure it out.

Yeah, it's an error on the page itself.

Note:
If the error is a "new" problem & the page or site is old...
Can be that page code have problems w/ current browsers. Or page is ok but some object has the problem & that need updating. ___.jsp is Jakarta Server Pages / JavaServer Pages & one of hundreds of side items that site often has to generate a page.
Say if compared to Windows programs is like having old version of a DLL w/ newer/update program & old DLL is missing/changed a section & new program barfs until get newer DLL etc. (Or program is written strictly for .NET x version but you don't have.)
JSP files uses Java language & most end user systems no longer support Java because of huge security problems. So if the page needed JavaRT on the local machine most people won't have it.
Related: Can be noscript etc plugins or new browsers block this jsp file.
Almost every browsers now are recent Chrome programs & Chrome block things then Brave etc often blocks more but Apple & FF browsers can block whatever w/o warning too even before adding plugins & even if you has JavaRT.
FF & many others allow user profiles that are turn off by default. Easiest test is setup a clean profile w/o plugins then try. May need to turn off browser setting then try again.
Is part of why my cave was rework to only need HTML5, CSS (Basically Page Format rules) & javascript (__.js files) many years ago before Comcast kill customer web services. & the pages will work even when noscript etc plugins block javascript. (Javascript is built into all browsers & not same as Java.)
If the site is .mil or other gov related then may never get fix more so if the site works even w/ the error. "They" can't easily change the code w/o approval by comity etc. (Can't do this at many big companies either w/o passing IT Sec review & more that can take months to get.)------------------
