Issue With Sitemeter and Internet Explorer

Sometime Friday evening, the script provided by Sitemeter became incompatible with Internet Explorer (both versions 6 and 7). Upon attempting to load the script provided by Sitemeter, an error claiming “Operation Aborted” would occur. I believe this problem only occurred with the JavaScript version.

I know that many in the IW community use Sitemeter. The only solution that I can suggest is to temporarily remove the Sitemeter script from your blog.

This happened on True Life Seek and my other blogs. This also happened on International Wota. It was also happening on other blogs using Sitemeter.

Using the Google Blog Search, I see that there have been bloggers - of different subjects of course - reporting this issue as well.

So for now, I’ve taken the Sitemeter script off of TLS (and IW). I’ve left the script on the Kanna Arihara Picblog so that I will know when the script is compatible again. If you are using IE6/7, this blog will not work.

This error only occured with IE, which is still used by a large portion of web users. You could try using the HTML-only code - I did not try this. I’m just going to wait until the Javascript version works with IE6/7 again until I put it back up.

Edit (2008.08.02 4:30PM EST): I’m assuming that this was solved some time earlier, but the script is working again. It is back on TLS and IW.

    I really like the features of Blogpatrol, you may want to give them a try. They provide really detailed data of your visitors and their activity although I don’t know what Sitemeter offers so I don’t have any comparison here.
