<p>I recently added JQuery's date-picker control to a project. In Internet Exploder, I get the following error message:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Internet Explorer cannot open the
  Internet site</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://localhost/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://localhost/</a></p>
  
  <p>Operation aborted</p>
</blockquote>

<p>What is causing this problem?</p>

Found this possibly related blog post:

Seems to be pretty common
