IE Operation Aborted? Post Here

{JT}

Turns out you were trying to do something else; edit the breadcrumb; before the DOM was ready. I tweaked your code and it works now.

loadSlideshow ();

Same here.

It happens on my galleries as well, on IE6 and IE7.
It happens to me and some friends and colleagues told me they've seen it on my site as well (www.streetsofboston.com).

I can not reproduce it consistently. It happens so now and then. Hitting 'Refresh' (or F5) will make the page appear OK.

On my page it happens after the page has loaded successfully (everything is visible). Then a fraction of a second later, the 'Operation aborted' appears. Maybe some AJAX calls executed during the BODY's 'onload' event?

Yeah, please reread JTs post above...

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the reply.

My site does not change any HTML before the the DOM has loaded. Code is executed through the BODY's 'onload' event.

update:
I just saw the update about the slide-show issue. Was that the post you were referring too?

Question: Which part of the code is it that is causing the wait until the page is fully loaded?

if (YD.hasClass(document.body,'homepage') && !YD.hasClass(document.body,'galleries')) {
loadSlideshow ();
}

The reason for asking is that I have some code that I want to run on other pages than just the home page and if I remove the 'YD.hasClass' stuff above I get the IE error.

Thanks

(FYI it is the rem_pipes code)

I am not a web programmer!!!
I read JTs post after getting an email from a client that my site isn't working.

I found the code JT was referring to and replaced it, but I did it in the Javascript section and not the footer customization section.

So I deleted it, but now can't figure out what is supposed to go where I deleted it. The missing code is between the two brackets I've bolded (I think).

if (typeof(slidesClickable) == "undefined" || typeof(slidesClickable) != "boolean")
slidesClickable = false;
return true;
}
}
{
if (!PrepSlideEnvironment())
return false

I don'tthink this code is stuff that needs changing, sorry. JT is at a conf but will be online later

I understand, but that's where I incorrectly inserted/deleted a "load slideshow" command, but now I can't figure out how to UNDO it...eg what is supposed to go between those brackets! Everything's working fine on my site now except the slideshow.

{JT}

Add this this to your code at the very end:

YE.on(window,'load', function() {
    loadSlideshow ();
});

I don't have a slideshow on my homepage. Would this work on my homepage as well, to get rid of these 'Operation aborted' messages?

{JT} - Can we use this code to run any script once the page is loaded or is it specific to loadSlideshow()?

Thanks

Hi JT !
Thank you so much - I have several slideshows running on my site other than the homepage. I added that to the end of the slideshow script and refresh and bingo - problem solved...
THANKS !!!

{JT}

Yes, I would put all of my scripts inside and run them once the page loads.

Yes - if you have any type of script that edits the page (including those that swap out new text for old text), I know you claimed that you don't have code that does - but I am willing to bet you do

I am fairly busy at the web2.0 conf, but I can try to look tonight or tomorrow.

Hi JT, thanks for your help!

I think you'd lose that bet!
I have only one spot where my custom javascript modifies the HTML itself and it is not on my homepage. It's adding a SmugWidget to my Guestbook.

The error only occurs on occasion. There is no immediate hurry, although it would be nice if this could be fixed.

I know JT is at a conference, but it is unclear whether he means the Javascript or the footer code. I just don't want to make matters worse by assuming...thanks!

Lynne see your other thread, your site looks fine to me after I fixed it earlier.

I'm still lost...Help.
I'm still getting the same error, but can not figure out how to clear it. anyone care to do it for me, or step by step instructions?

Sorry for any hassles. I didn't customize my site, I just added the pictures so the HTML is still kind of jibberish to me.

Who customized your site? Yikes, the tables
It's not like any code I've ever seen. Who did it, they should see this thread and make the proper adjustment. Let us know.

JerryR did my site...should I refer him here? or is it something we can work on together?

Hi

Yes, please, have Jerry look at your site and if he is not able to determine the problem, he can post here, and JT or someone can help.

Dutchie, you contradicted yourself That one spot could be the thing that is causing all of your problems. I modified your footer code as a result - lets keep an eye out and see if that was it.

YE.on(window,'load',function() { document.write((new Date()).getFullYear()); });

Sorry, I thought I was clear that the problem is editing the HTML of the page before it is ready - did not matter if it was on the homepage or not. Also did not matter if it was the slideshow, could have been any function (althought a majority of users had problems with their slideshow).

Anyway, lets keep an eye out and see if that was it!

Hi JT...
But i was not using innerHTML on a DOM element... document.writeln is supposed to be used before the BODY has loaded, isn't it?

Your change has actually messed up my site...:cry the only text showin on my site is no '2007' on a completely white background.

Since i can not log-in (my site is totally unaccesible...), could you undo your change...

Thanks
-- Anton.

Update:
My site is working again. I can get into my site now.

Just Before you made your change, i think i found the issue on my site.

I called doOnLoad (a function in my custom javascript) in a < script > element (in addition to through the BODY's onload event). This made my menu bar appear sooner. This manipulated DOM, possible before the BODY was entirely loaded. I removed this < script > element and i think the 'Operation aborted' was gone. (in addition, i show a message that my menu bar is loading)

{JT}

Yeah, sorry about that - I fixed it as soon as Andy let me know.

I must have missed the menu thing, but glad you caught it

Hope it is working smooth!

Me too! Me Too!! I am having these same issues and it is driving me crazy. My clients who are trying to make selections on their shoot cannot get in to view proofs. This started happening about 3 days ago.
