IE7 "Operation Aborted" even with FastInit!?

Question

A piece of javascript code I'm working on is causing the nasty "Operation Aborted" message in IE. I am well aware that you cannot modify the DOM until after it has loaded. Sure enough the line of javascript code causing the error is the one which appends a new div tag to the body. However the function which the line is located within is called via FastInit.addOnLoad! I thought this meant the function would be called after the DOM was ready. Is there a better solution to this problem that using FastInit?

Answer 1

I'm not sure about FastInit, but I just answered a similar question about waiting for the DOM to be ready here:

Basically, you can do it in IE by using the defer attribute on your script tag:

<script type="text/javascript" defer>
</script>

This will delay parsing the script until after the DOM is ready.

Sorry...

window.onload = function() {
    // Your code??
}
