IE7 Unable to Add or Edit Views

is there any HTML source on that error? can we get a helpful error message out of IE7? can anyone verify this? I don't have IE7.

Views doesn't use any javascript, other than the collapsible fieldsets provided by Drupal, so if it's a js problem it may be Drupal related.

I cannot reproduce this problem using IE 7, latest 5-dev and views 5.x-1.4-2rc1.

I am getting the same issue with IE 6.0 with Windows XP SP2. I only get this error message when I try to Add or Edit a view. As reported above, the page actually seems to render but an IE popup is displayed with the message: "Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site . Operation aborted".

just a note (I have note experienced this issue) that some MS debugging tools can cause you to see or experience errors or oddities you would not have experienced otherwise. For example, having MS Script Debugger installed can result in pop ups on web pages that otherwise have none.

Debugging is off. If I keep trying to refresh the page, it completely shows up once in a while. As in once in 10-20 tries.

What theme are you using? Have you tried it in only Drupals default themes?

I am using system default theme. I tried other themes also but no luck. I am using drupal 5 rc1 with rc2 of view.

I disabled "Friendly HTTP Errors" in IE Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced. What happens now is when I try to edit a view, only half the page is rendered and an IE error box is displayed. So far I've tried clearing my cache, restaring my laptop; nothing worked. All other parts of drupal work.

Just for this issue's completeness, I get the exact same error. However, if I click the error box, hit refresh, and go back one page I can edit/add views. Otherwise, I've created a few views without serious issue. I'm using windows XP, IE 7, apache 2.0.47, mysql 5.0, php 4.4.4, and drupal 5.0-rc1 with the standard bluemarine theme enabled. Just core and views modules enabled.

Sorry for a same-same here but this is just for assuring that this problem is not seldom. I experienced the same problem when adding a field or an argument to a view. Part of the page is displayed (Edit view , Basic Information and Page). Then the popup as described. Reloading the page yields the editing page again, but the field/argument isn't added.
No errors in the server log.
Works for me in firefox 1.0.6 (thank god).
Danish IE6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_(and more...), Danish XP SP2.
Drupal 5.0 (released version), PHP5.1.2.

Having the same problem in IE 7.0.5730.11 but works just fine in Firefox. I was just exporting all my views for backup because i was going to try reinstalling but then I saw this issue and tried in Firefox.

I can see everything except for the dropdown boxes. I get zero errors but I do get:
This view currently has no fields defined.

Fields are only meaningful with List view and Table View; they allow you to choose which fields are presented and in what order.

The add field part between the code tags is not visible on my page but when I pasted the message here that was the output. It's like it's there but invisible. Very strange. Any idea why I can copy and paste something that isn't showing on my page? I attached a screen shot so you don't think I'm nuts. You can see that what I pasted above doesn't show.

One of these days I will get IE7 somewhere and see if I can debug this, but I've found that not all installations of IE7 exhibit this behavior. So this one is going to sit for awhile while until I can figure out just what in the world is going on here.

Does anything happen between march and today??
I have the same error occurred and I don't know any help. What shall I do to avoid the error?

I found out that it works with OPERA.

I am experiencing the same problem when I try to edit any content. I get the error message

Internet Explorer cannot open the site http://seattlewcswing.org/?q=node/43/edit.

Operation Aborted

This was working fine just yesterday. Also now when I try to edit, I cannot expand any of the menus below the content window to edit the Menu Settings, Comment Settings etc. I haven't even tried to edit views. Could this be the same problem? Is there any fix?

I recently encountered this problem on a site while editing a view (Views 1.5.x-1.6) with IE 7.0. If I comment out line 66-74 of misc/collapse.js, the error no longer occurs while editing a view (of course editing is virtually impossible).

      /*$(this).empty().append($('<a href="#">'+ text +'</a>').click(function() {
        var fieldset = $(this).parents('fieldset:first')[0];
        // Don't animate multiple times
        if (!fieldset.animating) {
          fieldset.animating = true;
          Drupal.toggleFieldset(fieldset);
        }
        return false;
      })).after($('<div class="fieldset-wrapper"></div>').append(fieldset.children(':not(legend)')));*/

Further deletions hinted at .after($('<div class="fieldset-wrapper"></div>').append(fieldset.children(':not(legend)'))); as being the thing that trips IE.

Disabling FCKeditor (5.x-1.1) however also solved the problem. Perhaps an interaction between collapse.js and FCKeditor due to collapsible fieldsets containing textareas? Would love to hear from posters above if they use FCKEditor or another module that modifies textareas.

Perhaps we can then decide on the proper issue queue as well.

Either adding the views text areas to the FCKEditor exclusion settings (admin/settings/fckeditor) or upgrading to FCKeditor 5.x-1.2 (which solves http://drupal.org/node/125650) solved the issue for me.

How I solved this problem on IE6/IE7

Hi, I was also having this problem in IE6. As far as I have concluded and what worked in my case this problem only lies with wysiwyg editoris. TinyMCE or FCkEditor just go to administration page of these and add a filtre on

Visibility

Show tinymce/fckeditor on specific pages:

Show on every page except the listed pages.

and add the filtre using

admin/build/views/*

this will disable the editors on views adminstration pages and will solve the issue

Check my site at www.freeonlineserver.com

Hmmmm. My tinymce profile is set to:

Show on only the listed pages.
node/*
user/*
comment/*
admin/settings/site-information*

From my understanding, this should exclude tinymce from effecting admin/build/views/* at all, yet I am still experiencing this problem.

Any thoughts?

moving over to tinymce
