Well thank you for that link. We have spent 2 hours trying every solution
that would work for our page.

The basic idea is to move the Google Maps j/s (the culprit along with IE)
*outside* the body tags. Give it an out of body experience.

This did indeed fix the bug however it also introduced a problem with the
start percentage j/s we had to show FF where to begin showing the street
(e.g. it shows Oxford Street starting in the middle).

So frustrating as that is the solution, but Google Maps j/s doesn't like
being outside the body tag for some advanced options.

I wonder if anyone has any other ideas along these lines?

I'd fix up the errors/warnings within the html first.

Hello, we understand you guys may be able to help.

We have a page which has been working great for over a year and gets many
hits. However recently something got changed that we cannot seem to find,
and now *sometimes* if you refresh the page (generally while it is still
loading) in IE7, we get the popup window error:

Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site...
Operation aborted

Here is an example of the page in question:http://tinyurl.com/35mwxr[broadband recommended]

We appreciate you may have other comments on the site such as the size of
the pages, however we are not looking to change that at present, with faster
broadband becoming more abundant. Search engine listings alert the user
that broadband is recommended for this technology.

As we said, the site worked great, but for this unknown reason now needs
some sort of a tweak to fix. The changes we made before it happened were
related to the body tag but they have been completely undone yet the issue
remains :-S

Thanks in advance to anyone able to find the cure for us to test.

I don't know how accurate this is... but I read once that tables kind
of 'render twice' in most browsers (now don't flame me, I can't
remember why or where or if this was true...) but I had the same sort
of issue! Turns out, I had a large table containing my google map. I
was trying to modify my google map after it displayed on the screen,
but not necessarily after page load. I then put it into the onload
function - my call to modify my map. This then made my error HARDLY
reproducable. After searching around, I had the hunch that I should
remove the table from the layout of that code (I inherited the site in
table format - and boss man wanted the map in there pronto - no
'fixing' stupid things... like layout with table). I redesigned that
one page to not use any tables, and my error went away.

Food for thought, my friend. Good luck.

Well we just reverted to a backup of the site, and noted we had removed the
following apparently redundant CSS:

Well we just restored a backup of the site and noted that we had removed the
following apparently redundant CSS:

<style type="text/css">
..style1 {
text-align: left;
}
..style32 {
text-align: center;
}
..style38 {
text-align: center;
}
..style39 {
color: #000000;
}
</style>

Reinstating this seems to have fixed the IE bug! Can anyone get the
'Operation aborted' window to appear now by refreshing this page WHILST it
is still working?
http://tinyurl.com/35mwxr

There was a mention to some style code in one of the fixes for this known IE
bug. Anyway, it now appears to be resolved.

Thanks for all the tips. Hopefully MS will fix the bug before even more
programmers hate their browser, even if the majority of public don't.

Thanks. There are no "errors" that we know of or can see, although there
are some warnings which do not affect the end result so can be ignored.

However can you suggest what the correct Doctype string should be if not the
current one?:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">

....

Thanks!

Oh that site...I remember a what was it a couple of year ago...

Well if there was ever a concept not conducive to html, this is it! What
you really want is Flash, (Yes Travis, if he really want to do this thing
Flash would be far better) sand progressively load sections...
Click to expand...

Just as a point of interest, we chose HTML and j/s as the ability to add
affiliates' HTML and j/s 'eposters' to shop windows, draw imagemaps around
shop doors, and regularly update links etc. was much more straightforward if
using the same language the actual links use.

Also, loading the whole street first using Flash would have been necessary,
thus taking longer. If you notice at Oxford Street for example, it loads
each street 1 chunk ahead of where you are walking, and only once you walk
towards it. This appears seamless, but it is constantly loading and
unloading image blocks from memory - so it only ever loads what it needs to.
It's quite efficient and we're quite proud of the j/s code we developed
which interacts with the Google Maps interface. Getting Google Maps and all
affiliate links and banners to interact with Flash would *not*, we feel,
have been 'far better' :) Hope you can agree now we've clarified.

No at Flash expert, maybe Travis can offer more precise info, but it is
my understanding that Flash can do sequential loading and that it would
not be necessary to load the whole shabang.

each street 1 chunk ahead of where you are walking, and only once you walk
towards it. This appears seamless, but it is constantly loading and
unloading image blocks from memory - so it only ever loads what it needs to.

Don't use XHTML - http://hixie.ch/advocacy/xhtml
That would solve some of the problems.

If you are using Firefox then download the HTML Validator by Marc
Gueury, Web Developer by Chris Pederick and Firebug by Joe Hewitt
plugins. These 3 plugins are invaluable, IMHO, to assist in the
development of any website.

The problems that needs fixing are:
line 30 column 1 - Warning: discarding unexpected <head>: you've got 2
head tags on the page
Don't use the <font> tag it's been deprecated.
Don't allow Dreamweaver to set the styling names otherwise all sorts
of weird and wonderful things can occur. For example:

..style1, .style13, .style2 {
color: #0054C7;
}
..style2 {
color: #000000;
color: #0054C7;
font-family: Tahoma;
font-size: 11px;
margin-top: 4px;
}
..style2 {
color: #000000;
}
..style2, .style45 {
color: #000000;
}


a {
color: #0000FF;
}
a {
color: #FFFFFF;
color: #0000FF;
}
a, .style19, a {
color: #FFFFFF;
}

td {
color: #000000 padding: 0;
}
td {
color: #000000 color:#000 padding: 0;
}

The following items have errors:
..fill {
text-alight: right; --> should be align not alight
}
..style66 {
font-size: 1.51232e+034;
}
..style69 {
font-size: 1.51232e+034;
}
..style70 {
font-size: 1.51232e+034;
}

Thanks, have changed to loose HTML, although the problem with the IE bug is
already fixed.

This is actually because SSI is including a top and bottom border, which
have their own <head> tags, so it appears more than once. Strange I know
but that's how it seems to do it.

Thanks for the other tips.

Then change the include files so that content isn't in there anymore.
This is how I usually structure these things (ASP):

<% option explicit
thispage = "" 'the title of the page
thisurl = "" 'the page url
%>
<!--#include file="linkrel.asp"-->

Linkrel has the following structure:
Doctype
HTML
Beginning of Head
Title (uses the thispage variable)
Meta information (also uses thispage variable)
Stylesheet link
External js
Opens connection to the db
Include for master functions used throughout the site
then...

</head>
<body>
<!--#include file="h1_inc.asp"-->
h1_inc uses thispage variable eg:
<h1><%=thispage%></h1>

then...
<!--#include file="nav_inc.asp"-->
nav_inc has navigation and uses thisurl to determine if the
link should use the .thispage class.

then...
<div id="content">
Page content and other stuff

then...
<!--include file="footer_inc.asp"-->
footer_inc has copyright, legalese, etc., and links to less used
document, eg. privacy and accessibility statements, closes connection to
the db
and...
</div>
</body>
</html>

Hello, we understand you guys may be able to help.

We have a page which has been working great for over a year and gets many
hits. However recently something got changed that we cannot seem to
find, and now *sometimes* if you refresh the page (generally while it is
still loading) in IE7, we get the popup window error:

Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site...
Operation aborted

Here is an example of the page in question:
http://tinyurl.com/35mwxr [broadband recommended]

We appreciate you may have other comments on the site such as the size of
the pages, however we are not looking to change that at present, with
faster broadband becoming more abundant. Search engine listings alert
the user that broadband is recommended for this technology.

As we said, the site worked great, but for this unknown reason now needs
some sort of a tweak to fix. The changes we made before it happened were
related to the body tag but they have been completely undone yet the
issue remains :-S

Thanks in advance to anyone able to find the cure for us to test.

Regards,
Mika @ SHS.com

Well we just restored a backup of the site and noted that we had removed
the following apparently redundant CSS:

<style type="text/css">
.style1 {
text-align: left;
}
.style32 {
text-align: center;
}
.style38 {
text-align: center;
}
.style39 {
color: #000000;
}
</style>

Reinstating this seems to have fixed the IE bug! Can anyone get the
'Operation aborted' window to appear now by refreshing this page WHILST it
is still working?
http://tinyurl.com/35mwxr

There was a mention to some style code in one of the fixes for this known
IE bug. Anyway, it now appears to be resolved.

Thanks for all the tips. Hopefully MS will fix the bug before even more
programmers hate their browser, even if the majority of public don't.

Okay it turns out we jumped the gun as the problem is still happening,
albeit less often. It is completely random.

The only surefire workaround for this IE bug is to close the </body> tag
before the Google Maps code. BUT as stated that then messes up Firefox
interpreting the code.

Can anyone suggest another way to do this (which doesn't work)?:

<!--[if IE]></body><![endif]-->

Need something really simple please. KISS as you say.

Thanks.

No style problems can cause that. You've just shifted the problem around
a bit. Edit: I just read you're including google maps code, that'll be
what's doing it.

The problem is that some code is trying to dynamically create DOM

<!--[if IE]></body><![endif]-->
Click to expand...

Have you tried using document.write("<\/body>"); ?

If that doesn't work, then I'd just put the </body> tag inline as it
should be and deal with Firefox's problem. I haven't read all the posts
in this thread so I don't know details of what the problem is there.
