Error Message With Internet Explorer Only

Post by jamartin1979 » Mon Jun 09, 2008 2:36 am

The page loads completely then this error pops up.

Internet Explorer cannot open the internet site

http://www.tonkawabucsweb.com/.

Operation Aborted

The a page cannot be displayed error page is displayed.

I thought this error had something to do with the url rewrite in my htaccess file, but it did not. I have commented out all changes I made to the file as well as removed the file completely and still get the error.

This only effects internet explorer, and happens after clicking the login button.

However a simple refresh after the error results in a successful login.

Clicking any button on the menu also makes this happen.

You may need an IE fix for IE6 and IE7, the two most commonly used browsers at this point (I think). ;)

I found this.

This problem occurs because a child container HTML element contains script code that tries to modify the parent container element of the child container. The script code tries to modify the parent container element by using either the innerHTML method or the appendChild method.

I think I also found the problem. What I don't understand is that, I have had this module going for a month and didn't start experiencing this error until about 3 days ago.

I had a weather channel banner loading in the bottom module position using the JUMI plugin.

Disabling this module made the error go away, I just can't figure out why this error wasn't happening the entire time that module was published.

The problem with the "fix" is that it isn't really a fix, it is more of a cover up.

The issue was apperantly "fixed" in IE8, but it merely moves the error to the status bar instead of giving you an operation aborted error.

And that's why I hate IE.
Glad you found a "sort-a-fix". Can you go back and mark your post "solved" so others may benefit from the solution?

I can't seem to find the hotfix for IE 5.5, 6 and 7 but I have found that there is one.

I would just download IE8 Beta

You can download the IE8, but that won't help with visitors who haven't updated to IE8. ;)

I thought about that. And even with the IE-8 it just stops loading..

It would seem that microsoft would have the capabilities to put a useable and friendly browser out there... Maybe they try too hard..

So, it's Fire Fox for me.. and has been for a long time..

I don't find Microsoft to be very user friendly or customer orientated. Just take a look at Vistas and that's all that needs to be said. ;)
A developer can get you a fix. PM me and I'll give you some code for IE6 & IE7 that may or may not help with your site.

The error does not occur until the page is 100% loaded. In IE 8 it puts an error in the status bar. At least every time I encounter the issue. But IE8 sucks just as bad.. All kinds of display issues on my site with IE8.

Think I will just put a message on my site telling people if they want to view without any errors or problems, use Firefox, Safari, or Opera.

I put up an opening page telling visitors that if they use IE, there would be problems. Then I said I recommended Firefox, or any other browser, and gave them a link to Firefox.

It is still hard for me to see that Microsoft is so arrogant! They can fix this problem! They just won't admit they have it!
