internet explorer cannot open the internet site

Answer 1

Sorry if this ends up being completely off-base, but I remember running into something like this a while back. I fixed it by adding 'defer' to my script tag, i.e.:

<script defer="true"> ... </script>

This prevents the script from running until the rest of the page has finished loading, which avoids an IE DOM bug that sounds very similar to what you're getting. I haven't used ASP, though, so I don't know how you would add the defer attribute through ScriptManager.

Answer 2

This looks like a case of the script modifying the DOM before it has loaded. If I were you I would look at adding the script when the DOM is ready. Plenty of JS libraries have ways of doing this.

Answer 3

I've come across this problem as well. I found it affects IE6 and some versions of IE7 as well. In my case the problem was actually being caused by the ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript method. Once I removed that it worked fine
