IE6 and IE7 hate my JS

**Admin** · 12-Jan-2007, 01:44 AM

I'm trying to run some JS for one page (soon to be many more) and IE6 and IE7 both explode. An error message pops up and says:

"Internet Explorer could not open the Internet Site
Operation aborted"

None of the page displays after that. The page is up and the script works fine in Firefox:
http://www.thepcspy.com/testpoll

If you think I might trying to virus-up your computer, look over to the left hand side of your screen for a second and look at the "Featured Expert". I'm here to help people, not critically wound their computers.

The script lives on another (higher bandwidth) server: http://images.thepcspy.com/js/ajax.js
Could that be the issue?

Edit: I've tracked down the line in the JS to:
for (var i=0;i polltips[i].innerHTML = "";
and:
new Tips($S('.bars'), {maxOpacity: .7,timeOut:0});

These are both based on the Mootools pack so I've proceeded each of those calls with if (!isIE) (where isIE is set at the top of the script).

Its not great. Can anyone suggest why its not working as it should?

Solutions:

So the line
