Site not loading in MSIE, Fine in Chrome

Here is the first error message I got:

I remove the Lijit module. Then I got this error:

Now MSIE gives a pop-up error message:

"Internet Exlorer cannot not open the Internet site http://www.legalprojectmanagement.info/. Operation aborted."

I click okay and I get an "Internet Explorer cannot display Web page" error page.

Still loads fine in Google Chrome.

I removed the Google Friend Connect module and now it seems to be fine.

Sounds like a Javascript issue. If you use a lot of JavaScript from different sources, you have to be careful about how they play together.

Late to the game, but what was happening is that the Javascript was executing before IE had finished parsing the page, modifying the page structure and making IE forget where it was.

If you look at the Microsoft KB article quoted in the error message you should see some possible workarounds.

Hi,
the same problem here.

Thanks for the follow up. Rather than spend any more time trying to figure out the coding, I just removed the Google Friend Connect module and all is fine.
