IE aborting external javascript file request

This appears to be an IE issue only (code seems to work fine in Chrome).

Here is my code. It is saved as an HTML file:

<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/charts/loader.js"></script>

The issue is, that when I try to run this code in IE, the browser aborts the request. Please see the image below.

Screen Capture

To make matters worse. It randomly aborts. Sometimes it works and other times it does not.

I would appreciate any help or suggestions on how to resolve this issue.

Solution

  • The question seems pretty clear to me. We ran into something similar a while back. Check with your systems admin and see if they're doing any content filtering on this file type. Sometimes IE can handle remote scripts a little differently than Chrome or Firefox.
