I have added the javascript code on my homepage just above the </body> tag but when I open my landing page in IE i get the error message: Internet Explorer can not open the internet site http://www.********.com. Operation aborted.

Now it loads find in firfox and also when I dont have the javascript in there. What is wrong?

What version if IE do you have? IE6 or IE7?

I had the same thing happen to me.

I don't think it was the javascrupt for me, because I took it out and I got the same error when I refreshed.

I was on IE7.Not that I use it, I was just checking to see if the page worked on all broswers.

Hey hawks, can you send me a message on AIM T202Wes, if u were able to show me the landing page I'd be able to take a look at it really quick for you to see what's going on, if you don't use AIM, you can also contact me on msn at kazisdaman2@hotmail.com,

I'm getting this error right now as well!

It's definitely the javascript for tracking landing pages.

i had the same issue in ie7...i was using a php include file for a footer..and the instructions for prosper202 says to include it on the ONE page where visitors are coming to. so that would be my index.php file. but then when i add the prosper202 code, i'd get the error in IE7 and then in FF3, the page would load but wouldn't load anything after the prosper202 code (but when u view source...it's there).

so i moved the prosper202 code to the footer php file and all is fixed (although i know the instructions said not to put it on ALL pages). but i don't have a solution to that right now.

oh yea..and page is validated from that link in the other post about it.

Do you have a doctype? Try removing it and see if that helps.

are you willing to send the lp over an instant message? we'd be able to look at it and figure out whats wrong quickly if your comfortable with that, not sure what else to suggest right now without seeing it now if html is formated properly and it is above the </body>.

your not using wordpress, joomla or something like that are you?

hi wes,

nope..just regular html coding.

through a process of elimination...i noticed that if i put the javascript code OUTSIDE of any table coding...the error disappears.

soo...

[table code]

prosper202 javascript code

[/table code]

no good..

[table code]

[/table code]

prosper202 javacript code

</body>

okay!

but since i'm using php includes..this requires me to place the prosper202 code on the footer file which then shows up on all pages. will that cause a probleM?

You will get error when you use simple landing page.

Use advance landing page option and just use 1 offer, use the Javascript code generated by advanced lp, it'll work.

That looks like why it wasn't loading because it wasn't at the bottom.

Yes it will cause a problem if it is included on every-page, you just want it on the first page where your ppc visitors come in.

Although in PHP you can just mark it to say ONLY SHOW THIS ON THIS PAGE. We just need an IF statement, saying IF on this page, show, if not don't show.

I'm getting the same error.

Html is validated and javascript is placed above the </body> tag.

Is there another way around this???

IE 6 and 7 both give that nasty error "Operation Aborted".

Can you show your code here? (u can dummify your data so it reveals no information about your campaign setup)

Sure thing.

I think I figured out the problem. When I removed the p202 tracking code, the page loads fine in IE...

But, maybe there is something else that is causing the problem.

Remove the space before </body> ? I had the same problem, and this fixed it for me.

Well..... I figured it out!

The website that I was using and one other were made from pre-made website templates... Something with the way the templates were designed is conflicting with the p202 javascript.

Really weird.

I hope that helps someone in the future.

I'm having the same issue. Below is a brief detail on my HTML code:

<li><a href="terms.html">Terms</a>|</li>

<li><a href="privacy-policy.html">Privacy Policy</a>|</li>

<li><a href="about-us.html">About Us</a>|</li>

</ul>

I validated the CSS and everything is fine
