“internet explorer cannot open the internet site” – great, thx IE!
So IE 7 doesnt like if you have a script tag anywhere in your page except: in the head, as the first elements, or last elements of the body tag.
OR most of the time if you have your script in a window.onload event, or the jQuery version $.ready(). I’ve seen some people saying this has happened on a number of different scripts, including google maps. This isnt a big deal, because in most if not all cases their is an easy solution. But this is still odd, unexpected behavior from IE. Something that Firefox and Safari have no issues with.
Moral of the story is if you get the error “internet explorer cannot open the internet site”, check your script tags. remove them one by one, and find why IE is choking on them.
