I am hopeful that there will come a time when Microsoft’s IE team will learn that developers really need error messages that make some sense! I am working on this application that uses the Yahoo! UI library and in particular the menu widget. It works fine on Firefox and on IE on my local network but anything outside my network gives the following error:
Internet Explorer cannot open the internet site xxxxxxx. Operation Aborted
The reason for the error is that the DOM hasn’t fully loaded before the Javascript on the page tried to manipulate it. It is solved by easily adding the required initilisation functions queued by the YUI library’s event manager.
