"Operation Aborted" JavaScript error in IE 11

Using {track.js} I noticed someone using IE 11 generated a ton of "Operation Aborted" errors. This issue was common in IE 7 but was resolved in IE 8. Did it come back in IE 11? What could be causing this?

I realise it has been a long time since you asked, but I just stumbled upon this thread when I was researching the same issue. My feeling is that it's the same error as in earlier versions of IE. Nicely explained here: http://www.nczonline.net/blog/2008/03/17/the-dreaded-operation-aborted-error/

You can fix the problem in several ways:

  1. Move the script element so that it’s a direct child of body.
  2. Use insertBefore() to insert the div at the beginning of body instead of the end.
  3. Wait until the page is loaded before attempting to manipulate document.body.

The comment under that post is useful as well:

Another solution is to add the defer attribute to the script tag. This will make the script to execute when the DOM is completely loaded.

IE throws this error when you try to manipulate the DOM before its completely loaded.
