Triggit's Typepad widget crashes Internet Explorer
The Triggit widget is crashing Internet Explorer. Here's the background of my identifying the issue as a user; it would be great to see the problem resolved so that I could add Triggit back onto my blog (http://christine.net).
My blog's home page began creating an error for me, and for two of my readers. I am using Internet Explorer 7.0.6000.16705, on Windows XP 2002 Service Pack 2. The home page loads about halfway, then I get this popup error:
"Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site http://www.christine.net/.
Operation aborted"
After clicking OK on the popup, I see this page error:
"Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
Most likely causes:
- You are not connected to the Internet.
- The website is encountering problems.
- There might be a typing error in the address."
I was able to hear back from one other person, and he is using IE 7.5730.11. He sent me a screenshot of the error and it appears to be identical to the one I am receiving. The difference is that the error is crashing his browser after the popup, whereas I simply get the page error after the popup.
At the suggestion of Typepad's tech support folks, I removed the widgets from my sidebars one at a time, checking to see if the blog displays correctly after each one. I took everything off one by one, and after removing the Triggit widget things displayed normally. I have added the other widgets back in, and (fingers crossed) the site is still coming up fine in IE. So it looks like the Triggit widget caused the problem...

We are working on getting this resolved ASAP. It's a bug in Internet Explorer that affects the Javascript on many websites. You can read the technical details here (if you are so inclined :):

I've pushed up a first attempt at a change, but unfortunately since I can't replicate the problem, we are working with some brave souls to help us see if we've resolved it.
I’m frustrated
