Internet ExplorerTill today a huge part of Internet users use Internet Explorer. And those who have switched to other browsers already know the annoyances of it. Developers face major challenges while coding their websites and making it work properly on Internet Explorer. Continuing the annoyance, a recent bug in Internet Explorer causes web pages fail to load, popping a error “Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet Site – Operation aborted”.

This error is mainly caused as the Internet Explorer fails to understand certain heavy java scripts embedded in a page. From past month Life Baker also became a prey of this bug.  I hardly use Internet Explorer and thus I failed to notice this bug. One of my friends pointed out that Life Baker is not opening in Internet Explorer and is yelling such error.

Internet Explorer Cannot Open the Site

The Solution:

I googled up for the solution and found these two links. All you have to do is remove all the Java scripts from your websites and them place them back one by one while checking your site after each addition in Internet Explorer. You will actually have to remove the functionality from your site which the faulty JavaScript did.

At our site a tag cloud used heavy JavaScript and was causing this error. Some sites suggested to replace the script outside the body tag but nothing worked and finally I removed it and chose a lighter alternative.

For Internet Explorer users, point this out to your favorite websites about the bug so that they can work on it. But I would highly recommend switching from the Internet Explorer to any other browsers like Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome.

And lastly I would like to thank my friend for notifying me about the bug.
