IE cannot open the Internet site ... Operation aborted

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

I did a refresh-while-loading in Opera and got tons of errors, probably
related to the javascript (...apparently being interrupted). Oth, a
refresh-post-load produced no errors in the same browser. Ergo, I suspect
that the abundant j/s is causing the problem. Suggest you try ie7 without
the j/s on.

Here's something to try. I emphasize it's just a test. Change your

The idea relates to caching; who knows, maybe it'll make a difference.

Accidentally I have read this thread and I noticed that the KB article
I linked in "Active time for HTTP connection" thread may be giving
another possible hint:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/813827

"If you set the KeepAliveTimeout value to less than 60,000 (one
minute), you may have problems communicating with Web servers that
require persistent HTTP connections. For example, you may receive a
"Page cannot be displayed" error message."

It may be possible that some visitors have KeepAliveTimeout manually
set to too short, or that for some requests the inactivity period goes
beyond the default allowed 60,000ms

I cannot reproduce your problem neither in IE6 nor IE7 so just
guessing. If you have a machine stable reproducing the problem, then I
would check one by one:
1) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion
\InternetSettings
Try to set KeepAliveTimeout DWORD value to 180000 and add new key
ServerInfoTimeout with DWORD value to 180000

2) Tools :: Internet Options :: Advanced :: HTTP 1.1 settings :: check
on "Use HTTP 1.1 through proxy connections"
(default is off)

Thank you however that is not the error message we receive. 'Operation

loading. I do not feel this error is likely to relate, but thank you
anyway...

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 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.

Just as a point of interest, we chose HTML and j/s as the ability to add

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.
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.
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.
Actually no I have no idea since I am stuck on dialup a webpage of a
*mere* 5-6mb is not quite accessible...

If you are using Firefox then download the HTML Validator by Marc

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 <fonttag 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 {

}
a {

}
a, .style19, a {

}

td {

td {

The following items have errors:

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 </bodytag
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.

Personally, I prefer XHTML 1.0 over HTML 4.x because it is much easier
to ensure it is error-free. But that's a personal choice.

I agree. The support in IE (The most predominant browser on the web)
makes it so safe for the web.

What makes you think that?
I should have thought that was obvious.

HTML was designed from the start as a subset of SGML that would permit
lax coding of tags and allow addition of non-specified tags such as
the many that Microsoft chose to add to their own implementation back
to HTML 3.x and earlier. XHTML is - of course - simply XML.

The pragmatical reason is, I expect, that with just "/" the code will be
deemed invalid by reputable validators such as Opera Ctrl-Alt-V and W3's
downloadable TIDY.

Since you asked, I suspect that you are not in the habit of doing such
validation.

That only invokes the W3C Validator (by default) and other UAs provide a
similar feature to do that (Firefox with the Web Developer extension), so
you should have named that instead:

http://validator.w3.org/
and W3's downloadable TIDY.
HTML Tidy is _not_ a validator, it is a markup cleaner that also provides
some degree of plausibility and even accessibility check. And it is no
longer maintained by the original author, Dave Raggett of the W3C;
development had moved on to the Open Source community at SourceForge before
2004-06 CE.

Obviously not.

HTML was designed from the start as a subset of SGML that would permit
lax coding of tags
There's nothing "lax" about SGML's permitted optimisations. You're
allowed what you're allowed, no more. The fact that it's famously
difficult for humans (~Jukka) to understand the rules relating
optimised tags to elements doesn't mean they're "lax", just complex.

In fact, HTML is considerably _less_ "lax" than SGML might otherwise
have permitted.

If you said that it was harder to manually _author_ correct HTML than
correct XHTML, I'd have agreed with you. However to validate it as
being error-free, you do this to either of them by applying a pre-
existing freely available validator to them. For you as an author,
this is equally difficult for either.
and allow addition of non-specified tags
HTML doesn't permit this. The fact that many people _chose_ to, and
that some chose to do it in a manner (by specifying a new and extended
DTD) that was valid SGML (although thus no longer HTML at all) doesn't
make it right.
XHTML is - of course - simply XML.
Is it? All that can be said today with any real confidence about
"XHTML on the web" is that you can't do it with "XHTML as XML" because
IE refuses it.

Now if XHTML is XML, we're allowed XML namespacing and so we can
(directly contradicting your claim) safely add extra elements or
attributes. However in today's world of "XHTML as XHTML" we can't do
this with any more validity then simply dropping them into HTML as in
the past.

Hello Ian

Sorry you seem to unhappy.
I had to disable javascript just to get the page to load into Firefox.
This is very strange indeed. We must have tested this on dozens of Firefox
clients and never had a problem. The site has been live for 1.5 years and
not a single complaint from Firefox users, yet thousands of return Firefox
visitors. Could you try it again - perhaps you were referring to a broken
test page not the actual live pages? Try this page please:

http://tinyurl.com/35mwxr
My Advice....

3) Fix the HTML - Having three <head>, and three <bodytags is an
abortion! LINK can ONLY go in the header. Your page is such a mess it
can't be described as "tag soup". It a dogs breakfast! Fix.
This is a misnomer as it is actually the 2 SSI pages' own head and body that
you are seeing. It does not affect the operation at all, and if we remove
the tags from the 2 SSI pages then they cease to display correctly
elsewhere. It is not the cause of the issue, which as I have stated a
number of times, is a known and accepted bug between IE and Google Maps API.
6) If you want to show silly quotes or other dynamic content ...
We don't mind constructive criticism, but that is not constructive, it is
rude. I do not wish to get into a discussion about that however. The
quotes are not the cause of the issue this thread is about, again.
And consider using a version control system. That way when you back out a
change, you absolutely know it is 100% removed.
It would have saved all of this hassle.
We did restore the backup but the issue remained. We feel it may have been
there all along, just we never refreshed the page whilst it was loading and
hit one of the random times the bug would occur before.

Thanks for your time. If you could answer our query about your issue with
Firefox that would help, as it is worrying that yours is the first such
report on this entire thread and in 18 months of live use. Perhaps there is
something wrong with your system.

loading) in IE7, we get the popup window error:

Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site...

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,

I'd seriously consider re-engineering your site. You could could do
this FAR more efficiently using AJAX, and also remove most of the
browser issues you're seeing.It'll require much less of a heavy
workload on the browser, so you'll find it faster and smaller. Also
you wont be loading in images (shops) that aren't actually visible on
the screen until they scroll into view, so you'll probably save a
stack of traffic.

Again, alternative, do it in Flash.

I'd really go back to the drawingboard on this one - I don't think you
have a bad idea, but it's very poorly executed. Even if you fix the
issues you're having now, you'll just hit more down the line (or see
poor traffic due to errors that users will never bother to report -
they will just go elsewhere).

Google Adwords not showing is a symptom of having JS disabled. To save us
