Today I tried to open my WordPress website in IE7 but the whole page won't appear.

It states, "Done but with errors" at the bottom.

I've done some searching and believe this to be an Explorer error. The site opens fine in Firefox.

When I click on the message, I receive:

Line: 11
Char: 487
Error: ssbound is null or not an object
Code: 0
Url: www.yourvirtualwizard.com

I am unable to find out anything about this error online. I have disabled all of my plugins. I also changed the Internet Options to 'no debugging' and that hasn't worked.

I tried this to open in Vista and ran a Microsoft Runtime Error fix but that didn't work.

I have not changed or added anything to my site. WP is up to date.

So I am at a complete loss.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

Janine - Did you figure it out yet? Your site's opening for me in Chrome and IE, so maybe you did.

Was your problem something to do with a script you had on the page? Just curious.

Janine, maybe contact Nick at Elegant Themes - or search the ET forum? Sounds like a javascript error to me, so hopefully he could tell you how to correct it (if it is in relation to the theme and not a plugin - don't say anything about a plugin if you post on the ET forum or he will blame it on that right off the bat

). At least that would narrow it down a bit as to where to go from there.

Hi Mary,

No the problem still persists. Thanks for trying it in IE...it opened for you OK?

Thanks, Jules. I thought this was something on my end because it never happened before.

Hi Janine, find the part of the code (in your templates or dashboard) where the Vimeo video code is and you will see something like this:

HTML Code:

<div class="slider-right">
            
            <object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=9386038&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=ff9933&fullscreen=1" /> <embed src=http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=9386038&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=ff9933&fullscreen=1 wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed>                      
            </div>

To fix your issue, add </object> (object closing tag) before the last closing div, that means the code above should look like this:

HTML Code:

<div class="slider-right">
            
            <object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=9386038&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=ff9933&fullscreen=1" /> <embed src=http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=9386038&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=ff9933&fullscreen=1 wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed> 
            </object>                        
            </div>

You know, Janine, now that Hamid caught the missing </object> tag - remember when you were having problems with a video not acting right? Bells went off for me after Hamid posted.

Me, I just automatically thought is was an error with ssbound somewhere in the javascript because IE can be such a problem child with coding, but it did also say 'or not an object' as in there was a conflict - add the ending </object> tag and I bet Hamid hit the nail on the head.

I'll be checking up to see if your site displays in IE as it should.

The missing tag was tracked down using 'view source' on the page - you can see it's missing.

IE7 is notorious for not 'correcting' broken tags the way other browsers do, when they can [or so Hamid the genius code-reader tells me... gosh he makes me look smart!

]

Janine, hope you don't mind that I posted this here.

I couldn't stand it, so I went in and added the closing tag and voila! your site is working in IE!!!

Hamid, you rock!!!!

Hugs!!!!!

P.S. Janine, you might want to go in and check for other missing tags because IE is displaying some of the text in a rather unflattering way.

Honestly, there are more missing closing tags and malformed ones as well (in the content), I would just go through and fix as many as I could, the site works in all the browsers though so I wouldn't panic about it at all, it can be fixed...
