[Wtr-general] clicking on a link problem

[Bret Pettichord]

Bolton is right. We need more to go on.

But i can actually answer your actual question ("what is causing this") if
not your implied question ("how can i get my code to work").

This is happening because the IE window that "$ie" was bound to was closed.
That is what "The object invoked has disconnected from its clients" means.
The object, in this case is the browser and the client is our COM binding to
it. This message means that there used to be something at the other end of
the $ie, but now it is gone.
