Internet Explorer bombs on part of Target's web site

[O.B.]

Note that the problem I am about to describe does not occur with
Mozilla's browser.

When trying to view our baby registry at Target (www.target.com) with
Internet Explorer, we always get a HTTP 500 Internal server error. We
tried viewing other people's registries and we get the same error. Is
this a bug with Internet Explorer?

We are using version: 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.030422-1633
And update Versions: SP1; Q330994; Q828750; Q824145; Q832894; Q837009;
Q831167; Q823353

Couldn't reproduce. Try changing your Security settings to High.
That will disable scripting, etc. Then instead of being able to use
dropdown menus you will have to click on a link to take you to a page
you probably usually bypass. From there you should be able to enter
your Registry page. To restore your Security settings to default just
click on the Default Level button.


Good luck

Hi,
Well... Q831167 was supposed to be the fix for this, after Q832894 or
Q821814 caused it.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=831167

You may need the hotfix (patch) in
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=821814 There should be no
charge (other that the cost of the phone call) if the support staffer
determines that the fix is appropriate to your situation and no other issues
are raised.

Hope this helps,
Don
