Thank god I found your post here. I just had the same situation: hour of trying to find the same stupid mistake. IE realy sucks!!!

Thank fsck for that – I just wasted 3 hours of my life trying to debug why some users cant see a window popup, and some users can.

Google of “invalid argument code 0 msie” lead me here .. being the most linked to article on the net about this stupid problem. Thank you sooooo much for publishing an answer to this problem – It would have taken me days to uncover the answer myself by accident.

Some people dont understand why I hate MS so much – I dont use ANY MS products at all in anything I do, and yet every single week for the last 12 years, something totally stupid like this comes up which causes me to waste my time chasing wild geese and rainbows looking for a solution.

Every Single Time I work on something – there is ALWAYS some peice of MS crapware on someone else’s machine interfering with my work.

If I have a ‘problem’ with Apache, or MySQL, or PHP, or Gentoo, or gcc, or bash, or Ubuntu, or Mozilla or … ANYTHING sensible, there is always good reference material online, and there is always a good reason explaining the cause of the problem. As soon as you find a solution, you are left with a comfortable feeling that the issue is resolved, and you are back in control.

But as soon as a ‘problem’ with an MS product rears its ugly head – there is nothing on MS’s website that is of any use, and it ALWAYS turns out that the cause of the problem is just pure slackness on MS’s part. As soon as you find a solution, because the cause of the problems never make sense, you are left with an uneasy feeling that it is only a matter of time before something equally bizarre pops up with another MS ‘feature’ in another one of their prodicts. In fact, there are no SOLUTIONS to any of these sorts of bugs – just work arounds.

That is what I hate about MS more than anything – its all just pure slackness and unpredictable pollution without any good reason, and it takes hours to find a work around that half-works.

And I HATE IT. It costs me time, money, and reputation every time one of THEIR stupid illogical mistakes interferes with what I am currently working on.

I already have the “No, I wont fix your Windows system” coffee cup, but maybe its time I dropped support for any customer using any MS product at all (even an MS branded mouse)

grrrrrrr

Thank you for this entry. I was having a bad day trying to find why my code worked on Firefox but not MSIE. A google search brought me to this site and now– problem solved (mine not MSIE’s).

You saved my life!

You all bitch and complain about Microsoft products… why don’t you try and come up with your own software then… you all think you’re so smart.

Am I a Internet Explorer hater; No, but close. Consider This: If you have ever worked on a design or a particular cool feature for your web application and all went well people loved it and even your boss loved it. All to find out the ##*@@ IE, dosen’t work the way you expect. Knowing myself well I wouldn’t even bother. However we live in a strange world where inspite of the best avilable browsers being free, we still use IE. I am a big fan of Firefox, yes Opera and Safari are also really great.

Now comes the tricky part I can respect anyone using anyone of the listed browser above but, Why still people use IE. It just escapes me. I request all of you to please download you fav browser and use it instead of the Stupid, Unresponsive, Technical Blunder, and Arrogant IE.

I’m having the same error, to bad I’m using a cut and paste java for my drop down menu (which sounds like may be the problem)and I don’t know java and so I’m a little stuck on this one. lol
Should I learn js? Yes
Was I planning on it? NO
Will I end up learning more than I wanted to? Yes
Do I hate IE? YES!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND FireBUG (a Firefox add-on) to debug this issue… pointed me in the right place.

A letter to microsoft customer support after fighting with the error mentioned above simply for appending a class name with jQuery. The only thing I could do was rant, because I couldn’t do anything else. This all just flowed right off of my fingers to the keyboard with virtually no effort at all. I hate MS. I really do. And they don’t care. Enjoy, sorry if parts are too offensive. It made me laugh after I read it back..

Hi,
I’m a web developer, and I want to thank you for wasting my time. The only thing I can do right now is rant, because you make my job miserable. Fuck you, and your stupid non-working piece of worthless shit fuck browser called internet explorer. Do you even realize how big of a piece of shit it is? Ballmer do you realize that you are a fat bald sweaty piece of monkey shit? Really, I don’t mean to take a stab at you personally, but seriously, I hope you feel great about the way people feel about your company’s products every day. There are countless websites on why people should not use IE, why web developers, who are doing really cutting edge and amazing things for really grand user experiences on the web, really fucking hate IE and Microsoft’s lazy ass approach to fixing bugs. Invalid argument, Invalid argumentd, invalid fucking argument after another, and no decent debugging tools out there, I hate you.

Why don’t you use Apple’s webkit, or talk to Mozilla, and team up with a company that makes a browser that supports standards, and actually fucking works. Not tomorrow, or ten years from now, that shit should have been done yesterday. Jump on it right now, make some damn phone calls you lazy shits! But please, if you do, make the news of such a decision public on a Friday, because everyone in my line of work will celebrate thier asses off when we catch wind of the decision. Probably more celebratory alchohol among programmers in my industry will be consumed at that moment than any other time in history, and shit isn’t going to get done for a few days. So instead of contributing our unproductivity, say, during the middle of the week (because we already are quite unproductive due to your shitty debugging vague bullshit), please make such an announcement public on a Friday.

Or here is an idea, why don’t you just let IE die, focus on making your other shitty products, and leave the web alone. Too many people use the internet, it is always bad business to piss off the internet, take a look at Scientology. Here are some examples of why you, and IE, suck: the font smoothing looks like shit, it dosen’t have a correct box model, it plainly, to put it gently, is complete shit, smelly waste bowel excrement. If I went out and bought a car, and the paint was all rough looking and shitty compared to every other vehicle, I would think, that it was a pretty shitty decision to buy that car, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. This is what many many people are doing with IE. If that is the goal, then why not just kill it? You are essentially killing it anyway. Shit decomposes, that’s what it does best, actually. I mean, when my dog shits in my back yard, I give it a week, and its gone. Pretty quick.

If I have to debug another fucking stupid invalid argument error in IE. I’m going to lose my fucking mind. Fuck you. Fuck you, you fucking worthless waste of time IE developer fucks. I fucking hate you. I hate your company, we would all be better off without your worthless fucking products. Piss off and suck a dick.

Fuck you, Microsoft. FUCK YOU, Internet Explorer. FUCK YOU, Windows. FUCK YOU, Corporative fuckers. FUCK YOU 4 Ever!

I fucking hate internet explorer. WTF is urlmon.dll and wheer is it? It says it's gone right, so i try to fucking find a repacement. BUT! I can't download ANYTHING because the windows security zone settings or smoe shit are all crazy and shit. And my intenet exporer is fucking gone so I can't change the security settings. So here I am downloading files by using torrent sites to find the torrent adress to download them using utorrent, only to find out that I have to use fucking 7zip WTF IS 7ZIP!??? To unzip the fuckers.

FUCK.

Thank you so much. This saved me hours of headache.

If the incumbent CEO of Microsoft really wants to improve the entity’s image, it can start with a complete revamp of personnel running ‘INTERNET EXPLOITER’, for indeed, I.E.,in this computer, is an ‘exploiter’ of the system. It has no place in ‘civil society’ . You do right in using ‘aliases’ in your managerial positions. This is a great contributory factor ‘for your own safety’, believe you me!

I am also having a problem

Error: Invalid argument
Line: 2
Char: 1333
Code:0

I do not know how to figure out

Had the same error message recently. In the same time Firefoz and Safari were cool about the file.
I hate IE. Always steals my time cause it needs a ’special approach’, especially in css.
Thats why i call my stylesheets that I have to create separately for IE – stupid-ie.css )

Thanks for the laughs guys and gals, I thought I was alone and stupid, I am a 57 year old dude that fucking hate IE and its constant pop up “cannot run this script, fuck I don’t even kopw what scrip is. It is good to see that people that know their shit are alson pissed off at this piece of shit company, So in the spirit of trying to keep my sanity, FUCK YOU IE, FUCK YOU MICROSOFT and thank you OPERA and Mozzella
PS after this pc and or its os crashes and we know it will, it”s good by pc and microsoft and hello MAC
