Internet Explorer can not open...

MRudland · March 28, 2007

the internet site www.michellegallery.smugmug.com.
Operation aborted.

This is the warning box I am getting when trying to access my website with smugmug. I am fairly new to the internet and am unsure what to do. Can someone assist me?

Hi Michelle,

Shouldn't make much of a difference, but the www isn't needed: http://michellegallery.smugmug.com/

Try clearing your IE cookies and temporary files, and then closing, reopening your browser.

I have...and it works for about two pages into my site and then it does it all over again and I have to redo the clearning again.
I was wondering if there is a problem with the relationship between IE and smugmug?

No, not in the least. It's a fully supported browser, version 6 and 7. Are you running any other firewall or security software, where you might be blocking SmugMug? Is this at home or at work?

It is my home office. I have Norton. Would that be doing it? I appreciate your help and I'm sorry i sound so stupid!

Hi Michelle,

You don't sound stupid in the least!

I know in the past I've had problems with Norton not liking some sites while liking others.

I've switched to PC-cillin for anti-virus and spyware, etc. and have had some better luck.

Just my point of view.

Best of luck to you!

Cool! So it is probably my security ware and not the system at all...possibly!

Now, I need to play with it and figure out what I want to do!
Thank you.

Hi Michelle,

There are many errors in your header HTML.
I'm fixing it right now for you, please don't make any changes in your settings and customization for a few minutes. Most likely, the problem is caused by the errors.

Hi Again!

I've copied both the old and the new code here, so we can always get back to it in case I made a mess

I fixed your code. It's all technically correct now. You had several things going on. It resulted in the top-navbar breaking (going to the next line) in weird places. It doesn't do that anymore. If you wanted that to happen, please let me know, and I'll arrange it for you.

Let me know if this solves your IE6 problem as well.

Hello,
I noticed this post. I don't normally have problems uploading but today it keeps giving me a java script error.

I just added 3 lines to my CSS and was wondering if that has anything to do with it.

I use Internet Explorer

Thanks,

You are not the only one.
I happens on my site (www.streetsofboston.com) as well, sometimes: The page loads, then a message-box comes up with some error message and 'Operation aborted', and the page disappears and is replaced by one of microsofts error-pages.

This 'bug' is very hard to reproduce and only happens so now and then.
It seems to be related to some AJAX issues, but i can not be sure of that.

Internet Explorer can not open...
