Answer 1

This usually occurs when you try to change the DOM of an element that hasn’t been completely parsed yet. For example, this code will trigger an “Operation Aborted” error because the script tries to modify the div that’s still parsing:

<div id="a">
    <script>
        document.getElementById('a').appendChild(document.createElement('div'));
    </script>
</div>

To fix this potential problem, move scripts outside and after the code of the element you will be trying to work with.
