What happened to 'Operation Aborted' in IE?

Glad to see it go.<p>This was the most painful thing to get rid of because you couldn't ever isolate it. I spent entire days removing chunks of code from a page, until finally arriving at this:<p>&#60;html&#62;&#60;body&#62;&#60;/body&#62;&#60;/html&#62;<p>Refreshing the page in the browser <i>still</i> gave that Operation Aborted error about half the time. It's like it was cacheing the ghost of the original page and executing its scripts.<p>Now to wait patiently until IE7 goes away so that I don't ever need to dive into that again.

this is pretty topical for me, as this started happening to us the other day after implementing a lightbox gallery javascript. good writeup.
