IE 6 and the Dreaded "Operation Aborted" Dialog

As I was developing some pretty complex stuff with IE, it kept spitting at me with a dialog box that said "Operation Aborted." After looking through the code, which was mostly manipulating the DOM, and asking my good friend Google, I found that the manipulation of an element that is not fully created, causes real problems with IE. In other words, I was trying to manipulate a <div> tag before it finished creating the end tag.

This is pretty common with IE. So, beware, another IE issue (albeit and old one) to deal with.
