When I go to http://www.mysite.com/misc.php?do=flashchat in IE 7, I get a Windows Internet Explorer error popup: "Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site http://www.mysite.com/misc.php?do=flashchat. Operation aborted". I click on and get taken to the “Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage” error. If I refresh the screen it seems to work fine.

IE 8 brings the page with a ~broken flash applet, if I refresh the page, I get a script error in the bottom left corner:

I’ve tested firefox 3.5.6 and chrome 3.0.195 and they seem to work fine. Any thoughts on what's causing IE to complain?
