Action Canceled- Survey

[Fansites.com Announce]

OK,

Running IE 6.0 SP1 with all patches. Behaves the same way under
Windows 2000 as Windows XP. The Windows XP is a new install with NO
third party applications

HOSTS file is default.
No spyware
No popup blockers etc.

This is only bothering me because I'm using a program that hangs when
using the HTTP control in VB when there is an Action Canceled error on
the screen.

I didn't write the DLL so I can't debug it directly.

Is there anyway setting I can add somewhere that will not display this
error?

And now for the survey part. Please take a look at the following URLs
which hung the app when testing today.

I'm interested to know who sees "Action Canceled" and who doesn't and
which version of IE you're using.

thx

What do you mean HOSTS file (no extension) is the default.
If you sites are references in the hosts file that may be the problem.

No page to display or action cancelled.

Default means how it is shipped with the product, you dig?

The KB article has nothing to do with what I'm seeing.

I know the answer. It is a built in behavior in IE 6.0 and I wish
Microosft would chime in with an answer.

Meanwhile, did you try the URLs I posted?

Let me narrow it down to two that have been consistent:

http://members.aol.com/Niffiwan1/main.html
http://come.to/chilam

Note, the test isn't valid if you're using a proxy server.

Fansites.com Announce,
The 1st URL you provided, redirects to a non-existant site
(members.xoom.com)
The reason it won't load = "Http" instead of "http" is defined on the page
2nd reason = members.xoom.com = dead

The 2nd URL also points to the same dead server (members.xoom.com)
Although the stupid ad page from FortuneCity loads .......
"images.v3.com/popclkjscript.htm" name="adpage"

Mike,

The question was, do you see Action Canceled or not? That's what this
survey is for. I appreciate the fact the people want to help in other
ways, but what I'm researching is only the Action Canceled or not. You
visited http://members.aol.com/Niffiwan1/main.html which is
appreciated, but I'd really like to know if you saw action cancled or
not.

This test is not valid through a proxy server.

 

[Mike Burgess]

Yes I see the Action Cancelled message, and in my last post I provided
several valid reason why this message is generated.

Http://members.xoom.com/Niffiwan1/left.html
Http://members.xoom.com/Niffiwan1/right.html
Reason 1: No such server as Http:
Reason 2: No such server as members.xoom.com

Thanks. I'm not interested in why it is happening. I just need to
verify that it happens on "clean" systems.

I have not seen any information from Microsoft on a way to stop these
messages. I do not want to see Action Cancled. I do not want any
redirects to shdoclc.dll. It's screwing up one of my apps.

Do you know of a way to hack out this behavior? There are some
settings in the registry that I hacked out but they didn't seem to
have any effect.

My goal is to not have the URL redirected to shdoclc.dll. I'd rather
it just show an error without changing the URL.

Fansites,

messages"
Why would you ... what you're seeing is the default action to an error
The same result is generated when the user blocks ads\banners, etc with
[example]
127.0.0.1 ads.fansites.com

Do you know of a way to hack out this behavior"

Some pop-up blockers can replace the Action Cancelled message with a
replacement .gif.

"I'd rather it just show an error without changing the URL"

What error? You'd have to create your own ....... or hack the shdoclc.dll
