Google Maps – Operation Aborted – Crashing Internet Explorer (IE)
January 1st, 2007 | Posted by in Tech/Web
Integrated google maps code works when using FireFox, Opera, but it errors out when using IE giving the error:
“Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site: http://…”
Here’s basically what’s happening: IE doesn’t allow changing HTML tables via DOM until they are fully rendered. And since Google Maps code does just that the solution was to move the <script> to the end of the HTML while leaving the map <div> in the place where you want the map to show.
You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0 You can leave a response, or trackback.
what does that mean? is that an answer? IE will not open google maps any longer?

If you’re coding a page, that is a solution. Just move the
<script>tag to the bottom of the page, just before the</body>tag.If you are encountering this error on a site you are visiting, just try using a different browser.
Hope this helps.
