The always asked return question: do you have or can you craft some
page on a url you could share with us for debugging the issue? (The
rest of the comment might quite likely not be at all relevant to you.)

If you're using the 2.0 api, I've had reports from users about IE7 (at
least) bailing out reporting something like that (for
application/jsonp based exhibits of mine, at least).

To David: the use of catch()ing errors and routing them to alert()
breaks debugability of the _actual_ error not only for Firefox, but IE
as well. I've tried setting up an IE with a debugger (see
http://www.berniecode.com/blog/2007/03/08/how-to-debug-javascript-with-visual-web-developer-express/
for a tutorial on how to do that, by the way), but ended up with the
same problem there.

It's possible that rethrowing them after the alert (perhaps only on
detecting an url parameter errors=throw) might make it more
debuggable; I haven't experimented much yet. I'd somehow want to find
a solution to this though, as I presently just glaze over when IE has
issues. Most of my hacking at the core parts is for fun, and debugging
IE with hands tied fails that threshold with a margin.
