Hi there,

We're using allvideos plugin to power a custom module on the front page of my client's site. For some reason, it's randomly (and frequently) causing IE7 to display an "operation aborted" error message. When that comes up and you click okay, go to the IE7 error page and hit refresh, the page comes in working properly.  We do NOT get the same error using FireFox.

iJoomla Newsportal is controlling the front page. The error doesn't occur when Allvideos is used to embed a video into a content item. It only happens when the module on the front page is loaded and published.

The site is www.usathisweek.com. Any advice would be appreciated.

I think this happening to me as well.

Works in FF3, Opera and Safari but not IE7.

Any thoughts would be most appreciated.

I am receiving this error as well as a result of a YouTube video.  In other browsers, the YouTube seems to display fine.  In Internet Explorer, in versions 6 and 7, I get an Operation Aborted error and the page won't display.

However, I do not think this is an issue with AllVideos as much as it is YouTube.  My front page setup included a module to allow for basic HTML programming as it seems the new version of AllVideos does not allow for module embedding.

So with that, I downloaded and used mod_php to use the entire YouTube code for embedding on my front page.  After realizing this was causing the IE issue, I sifted around to see who the culprit was.

I came to these forums and saw a few users having the same issue, so I thought its AllVideos.  I disabled the AllVideos plugin and the problem STILL existed.  Figuring since I was using regular embedding, that unless some kind of conflict was arising, it probably was not the plugin.

So I tested my theory and replaced the embedded YouTube code with a Google Video code.  Guess what, it worked fine in IE.  That leads me to think its a YouTube problem.  Somehow, YouTube is conflicting with something in scripts.  I don't know what, but seeing as Google Video showed up well, the issue must stem from a YouTube issue.

I am about to go search through some YouTube forums to see what I can dig up, but I think, at least in my situation, that this isn't an AllVideos plugin problem.

A final thought; I am using the AllVideos code {youtube}blehbleh{/youtube} just fine in articles in all browsers.

More later...

I figured it out (I hope)...

drupal.org/node/210002

The link above mentions a problem with IE and the OBJECT command.  This is NOT a problem with AllVideos.  This is an IE problem. 

I'm not sure how to tweak the jw_allvideos_sources .php file to ride of the issue, but I solved the problem by removing the OBJECT command surrounding the embedded code and would imagine a fix with this program to rid of the OBJECT command would also assist in this problem.

This is definitely an IE bug having to do with the OBJECT command.  While I haven't solved the AllVideos problem, I have linked it to the OBJECT command.  When I stated earlier the Google Videos worked just fine, they don't use an OBJECT command.

I realize the OBJECT command is used in other parts of my site with YouTube and thus far, I have no issues; this was just a main page issue.  I cannot explain that.  But I seemed to have fixed the problem with my situation.
