Operation aborted

Hi,

Never seen this before but it is happening at least once one every visit now to my aspx site and on/in different machines/places.

I get a dialogue saying
"Internet explorere cannot open the website at "http://www.site.com
Operation aborted"

You have to then refresh.

Has anybody seen this before or know what might be causing it?

Much obliged,
JBsounds like a connection problem -- i.e. firewall or proxy settings.
does the site have SSL enabled?
Thanks rox.scott,

No SSL is not enabled.

Are there any tests that I could do you know of?

Many thanks,
JB
Actually because of an asp.net control in the header.
I have my <form runat="server"> enclosing all of my HTML including the header.
Everything works but is this a no no?
You shouldn't be putting Controls that require a Postback in the header of the page.

I'm currently doing some research because I have a similar problem - and found this:

In short: The error occures - only in IE - when the DOM is manipulated via (inline-) JavaScript before a document has been parsed entirely. The problem: You don't have much influence on such inline scripting issues when you are using ASP.NET and/or AJAX

Hi!

This problem seems to be around since 2004. I can't believe that there's no workaround or fix for it?! At least I can't find one. Did anyone find a solution for it?
In my opinion the whole ajax extension/toolkit is worthless (when you're developing for IE) because of this bug. HEEEEELP!!!! anyone??

Dealing with IE "Operation Aborted". Or, how to Crash IE

Thanks!

JBX is the website host behind an ISA firewall? I have this problem also, we only see when we deploy sites on our internal host and we browse them (external to our network). The request is served via ISA server in this case and we get the error. I'm 60-70% certain that ISA is screwing something up.
