I have been working on this bug for the past two days but seriously, Microsoft should just abandon their browser department and do something else that they are good at. IE6 was pre-mature, limited CSS support, slow, security issues, but it was wide spread everywhere; IE7 supports more CSS but it is still a pile of crap; IE8, Microsoft went from one extreme to the other. While IE8 supports a lot more stuff and Whatever effect that I was able to do in FF/GC/Safari can be reproduced in it, it is way strict on the code than anything I’ve ever seen.
People probably seen this error message before but it is the first time for me and I basically been dreaming about it for the past couple of days. On the MSDN site, I’ve read their documentation and I quote “This problem occurs because a child container HTML element contains script that tries to modify the parent container element of the child container. The script tries to modify the parent container element by using either the innerHTML method or the appendChild method.” Well, I do have such function available but since the page was generated dynamically, it should happen on all pages, but this is not the case. This only happened on one of them. So I keep dig deeper and deeper and finally found my solution – I have an open tag that wasn’t closed. Something like this:

I am missing a close tag here.
Yep, that’s the only issue. It took me awhile to find this article so I figure it’ll be a good idea to rewrite another article so that It will be indexed on the internet and who know who will benefit from this. So here it is.
