IE error: The page cannot be displayed

[kari]

I have a CGI program that works fine, but quit often comes out with "The page cannot be displayed" in the middle of the processing when I have java script alerts. This doesn't happen
with Netscape at all.

This is not consistent, and very difficult to figure it out why its happening.

This is theway I use alert:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--

alert('Request failed for IFM-1-2. Reason: Request invalid in current state');
//-->
</SCRIPT>

If I take out this alert, this problem of page cannot be displayed reduces considerably.


I appreciate if any one could help.

thanks

Well, we really don't have much to go on. I don't see any reason why a JavaScript alert would cause a page cannot be displayed error (this error usually means the browser couldn't find the page, regardless of what its contents were). My best guess would be that it was a coincidence that it seemed to lesses without the alert. The more probable cause would be high internet traffic at the time or an unreliable server.
