Re: Failure of long address lines in IE 6 to load

The behavior's most likely being caused by a setting in an install anti-spyware application or your own use of a custom HOSTS file, James.

The problem is the "click-through" "sponsored" links and the customized
HOSTS file you're running. Edit the URL you cited in Address Bar to
http://www.januvia.com/sitagliptin/januvia/consumer/learn/learn_whatbal.jsp?tcode=JA759&WT.mc_id=JA759&WT.srch=1
and all should be well.

If I click on a link from Google it will include the address I am trying
reach but with prefixed lines which I believe makes the string so long it
does not function. IE just says "Done".
Here is an example this is the link I clicked on to after a search on
Google

http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;145032728;20864271;b;u=ds&sv1=46014771&sv2=200803303&sv3=96161;%3fhttp://www.januvia.com/sitagliptin/januvia/consumer/learn/learn_whatbal.jsp?tcode=JA759&WT.mc_id=JA759&WT.srch=1
As soon as IE attempted to link it said Done.

Here is what I lifted out of the above link and pasted in the address bar.
It went thru and connected.

I suspect IE is not set to handle long strings. Am I barking at the moon
or
am I partially correct? How do I get this to work other than cutting and
pasting?
This is a consistent problem with any long string address which was
developed by transferring from one site to another.
