IE6 Operation Aborted

I try not to release updates on Friday’s because I am not always available on the weekends to support any unexpected complications that might arise from an update gone wrong.

You can apply one of the many fixes listed above or you can edit /mint/app/paths/record/js.php yourself. Around line 57 change:

var tag = (document.createElementNS) ? document.createElementNS('http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml', 'script') : document.createElement('script');
var head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
tag.type = 'text/javascript';
tag.src = path + '&serve_js';
head.appendChild(tag);

To:

var tag = (document.createElementNS) ? document.createElementNS('http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml', 'script') : document.createElement('script');
tag.type = 'text/javascript';
tag.src = path + '&serve_js';

/*@cc_on
// Someone set up us the IE
var bases = document.getElementsByTagName('base');
if (bases.length)
{
    // All your base are belong to us
    this.IEBaseFixId = window.setInterval(function()
    {
        if (document.body)
        {
            document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(tag);
            window.clearInterval(Mint.IEBaseFixId);
        };
    }, 50);
    return;
};
@*/
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(tag);

apperently this is still not fixed even with the updated files.

I have asked a friend with ie6 to try it and he is getting operation aborted. I have asked him to empty the cache and try it again, to which it produced the same result.

This is using the latest 2.07mint 2.03default.

Test page, the same one.

Regards, Pierce

I appear to still encounter this issue when attempting to load my mint/ directory - after the recent update to 2.07.

It has no effects on my web site, just that I could never view my Mint directory without the Operation Abort error.

I can, however, view Mint just fine in Firefox.

And yes, cache cleared, and all that jazz.

Sorry guys, I really need a better version control system. The complete fix is now available in Mint 2.08 (with abbreviated update instructions in the release notes).

Thanks, it works now :)

I know I run analytics which gives me full stats, but Mint is so much handier for showing referrals from other websites and stats as they happen. Most importantly the organic results, trying to find where you position on google with analytics is like trying to find a needle in a haystack!

It is such a god send to have it back.

Pierce

No dice. Wondering if it’s a plugin.

RST, are you seeing the issue when trying to login or when actually viewing (or trying to view) your stats? The problem discussed in this thread only involves pages tracked by Mint. It sounds like you are having a different problem. If so, please start a new thread and provide as much information about the problem as possible (including browser/OS and versions).

I would also recommend checking third-party Pepper as your Mint login page and none of my Mint installations (which are very light on third-party Pepper) do not exhibit the problem you are describing.

Hi, Shaun, It’s been an issue with IE 6 on XP SP2 ever since installing Mint, when viewing the stats page after login, or if auto-signed in. The page simply produces the Operation Aborted error. I’ve been having to view the stats page with Firefox exclusively.

I’ll look to uninstall each plugin one by one to try to see if it’s an issue. If anything comes up, I’ll get a better idea and post a new message with all the informaiton.

Thanks, RST

This is not fixed, another member has reported issues with it. As such I do not feel like I can ever trust mint any more. Sorry.

version : 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp.050928-1517

That is the version of IE.

Pierce

Shaun, I personally think it has to do with the script for the top navigation pulling the links into the options menu. IE 6 appears to chew on that part of loading the page before fudging out. (When Firefox will normally pull those links into the options menu, IE decides it doesn’t want to do anything else. Just a hunch.)

I tried de-installing all my extra plugins and it was still producing the same problem. I also attempted using two different themes to see if it had anything to do with the theme I’m using. That didn’t affect the results either.

Pierce, I’m sorry to hear that. If it helps any I don’t consider this matter resolved. (And FWIW, I’m way past feeling like I can trust Internet Explorer ;D)

This is the version of IE 6 that I am testing with 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158. Looks like Server Pack 2 is installed and if those numbers at the end represent a date, it was released around August 3rd, 2004.

Your user’s IE appears to the same version 6.0.2900.2180, only released later, September 28th, 2005.

In the meantime, all of the previously listed fixes should work (reordering the contents of your <head> tag to <title>, Mint JavaScript include <script>, <base> instead of <base>, <title>, <script>).

RST, I’ll take a look at the code in question and get back to you (but again this should really be in it’s own topic as it’s a completely different issue).

I’m not sure if it unrelated though, Shaun. Operation Abort errors aren’t very common, and I’m wondering if it’s relative to something general. So, in that sense, it may not be unrelated.

I’m not having issues with viewing my site - I’m having problems with viewing Mint in IE. If this is due to a more general issue, then perhaps it should be considered.
