"Operation Aborted" error in Internet Explorer when using Lightbox 2
Article Applies To:
MenuMachine 2 only
GoLive 6, CS, CS2

Category: Browser Issues
Issue
When a page uses both MenuMachine 2 and the Lightbox 2 slideshow script, Internet Explorer displays an "Operation Aborted" error when the page loads and the menu does not work.
Solution
This problem is due to a conflict between MenuMachine 2 and the Lightbox 2 JavaScript code.
You can work around the issue by moving the Lightbox <script> tags from the <head> section of the HTML to the very end of the page code, just before the closing </body> tag:
<script src="js/prototype.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="js/scriptaculous.js?load=effects,builder" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="js/lightbox.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</body>
If you are still having problems you may also need to apply the fix outlined in Article 000153.
