Internet Explorer - Operation Aborted ?

If you are using a Javascript framework like YUI, you may encounter problems with Internet Explorer 6 spews the "Operation Aborted" errors.

This error occurs because

1. IE loads the entire HTML including Javascript the first time it loads data
2. When you try to refresh the page, IE would have cached some of the Javascript files which try to execute on a HTML page which isn't loaded fully yet
3. IE thinks its illegal to do the above operation and throws up the error.

The way to fix is to move your Javascript which tries to modify the DOM structure to the end of the html page and just before body tag ends. And thankfully, it doesn't affect any other browsers although you end up with some horrible html code

Internet Explorer 7 - Install it bypassing WGA

No, this is not to encourage installing IE7 on a non genuine copy of Windows. But I don't understand the why Microsoft keeps making these lame attempts to prevent people from installing it. It's so unbelievably easy to get onto Google and search for "install IE7 skip bypass WGA" and get scores of articles giving step by step instructions on how to circumvent the WGA protection.

In my opinion, people who didn't pay for Windows will never ever pay for it come what may - especially in developing countries. Either they skip the installation or switch to alternatives like Firefox

Sorry for the folks who came in here for IE7 installation bypassing WGA crap.

Believe me, there is nothing special in IE7. Would you mind downloading Firefox - the IE7 Alternative

IE 7 available for download

Microsoft has released IE7 - features a 'new look', tabs, RSS feed, a search box and 'improved' security. Haven't tested it out but looks like a Firefox clone - except the security part ;-)

Download it anyway
