I can't seem to reproduce the problem in a standalone page, my snippet internet explorer is: function addNamespace(key, value) { try { $("html").attr(key, value); if (document.namespaces && // This throws the error !document.namespaces[key]) { document.namespaces.add(key, value); } } catch (e) { alert("Error: " + e); } }; Never mind right now why I'm trying to add a namespace at runtime (it has to do with Facebook Like not working properly ... see this comment - Facebook like button showing in Firefox but not showing in IE). My question is simple - on what conditions does 'unspecified internet explorer unable error' occur? jquery internet-explorer internet-explorer-8 share|improve this question edited Aug 9 '15 at 2:31 John 3,22232769 asked Oct 3 '11 at 10:23 ripper234 66.8k168464747 Which IE version used? –Andrew D. Oct 3 '11 at 10:41 @Andrew - tagged IE 8. –ripper234 Oct 3 '11 at 11:09 In my test in IE8 standard mode all worked fine (but I use document.getElementsByTagName("html")[0].setAttribute("xmlns:"+key, value);). –Andrew D. Oct 3 '11 at 11:22 @Andrew - I did say I failed to reproduce the issue in a standalone page. For some reason this happens on my full page though (can't link to it right now, sorry). –ripper234 Oct 3 '11 at 11:24 Which key|value you use: example? –Andrew D.

I've seen a lot of unspecified errors from Ajax code attempting to access something (usually from the DOM) before the page has finished loading (even if the page appears to have already loaded)... Some Googling on this error shows some people saying this is a browser issue, but through my own experience I strongly suspect it has to do with some asynchronous code not running in the order in which you think it is run

The batch file is run as an administrator. I am trying to open an Internet Explorer 8 window, as part of a longer routine. If I simply call IEXPLORE.EXE in a batch file without using JavaScript, Internet Explorer 8 opens okay: "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" If I call a URL as well, the specified page opens: "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" http://www.google.com However if I try to use JavaScript in the batch file, to control the size and location of the Internet Explorer 8 window, an Internet Explorer window starts to open but before it finishes opening the routine aborts with the error message 'Unable to download. Unspecified error.': "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" javascript:window.open("http://www.google.com","newwin","left=10,top=10,width=520,height=250"); Active scripting is enabled in Internet Explorer's options. The fault does not appear to be caused by the DOCOBJ.DLL file which comes with older versions of Microsoft Office. Although I did install Office on my system, which is running Internet Explorer 8, so an old version
