I found the solution, actually.

As it happens IE 6 has a payload length limit when using the GET
method. As it just so happens, I was in fact using the GET method to
send some parameter data to the server in an ajax request (using
prototype). Hence, the ajax request would not go through; then, when I
assayed to access ajaxRequest.transport.responseText, I appeared to
get the "The data necessary to complete this operation is not yet
available" error, as it indeed was not available since the ajax
request never went through; not withstanding I did send the Ajax
request as asynchronous, it was thrown.

The solution apparently was to use the POST method instead of GET, as
IE 6 does not seem to have a similar limit on POST's payload as it
does on GET's.

Thanks anyhow fellows.
