Welp - I think i solved the "Operation Aborted" problem...
but celebration may be a little premature... until I try it at my buddies house who continuously has this problem ALL the time!
Anyway - it really was a timing issue. I did not change ANY of the code... just the order that it loaded.
The key is to remove the load-up of the slimbox javascripts (slimbox, mootools, fual...) to the "end" of the page... or at least under the Product sections...
The file, located in /www/includes/modules/pages/product_info
as file: **jscript_z_slimbox.php **(oh - I put that letter z in there to play with order... it's not going to matter)
has this code:
<?php
// copyright info...
require_once( DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'fual_slimbox.php' );
$fualSO = new FualSlimboxOptions();
$fualSO->jscript();
?>
So what I did was essentially get rid of the file (rename it):
mv jscript_z_slimbox.php jscript_z_slimbox.php.sav
and I put that code snippet (above) into:
/www/includes/templates/YOURTEMPLATENAME/common/tpl_footer.php
so that it appeared around the IP ADDRESS section (or there-abouts...)
<!--bof-ip address display -->
<?php
if (SHOW_FOOTER_IP == '1') {
?>
<div id="siteinfoIP"><?php echo TEXT_YOUR_IP_ADDRESS . ' ' . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; ?></div>
<?php
}
?>
<!--eof-ip address display -->
<!--eof-slimbox - move to footer so it would load in the right order -->
<?php
require_once( DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'fual_slimbox.php' );
$fualSO = new FualSlimboxOptions();
$fualSO->jscript();
?>
<!--bof-slimbox - move to footer so it would load in the right order -->
<!--bof-banner #5 display -->
<?php
if (SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET5 != '' && $banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET5)) {
if ($banner->RecordCount() > 0) {
etc etc etc...
