HTML Parsing Error In IE8(KB927917)

Webpage error details User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 2.0.50727) Timestamp: Wed, 18 Jan 2012 05:02:49 UTC Message: HTML Par

Solution 1:

Example: call document.body.appendChild when the page has not loaded.

Need to call javascript when the page is loaded, example:

document.body.onload = function()
{
    document.body.appendChild(...)
}

Solution 2:

Add few characters spaces in-between script tags to fix this. ie., space inbetween start and close script tags in case you are referring outside library using src attribute

Solution 3:

IE takes some time to render elements. In that case, if we are referencing the element in Javascript it will throw this error.

Solution is to check on your Javascript or Jquery codes and use the codes inside the $(document).ready(function() { } function.

It works for me.

Not sure if this will be on any help but it might give you an idea of your problem.

I'm still learning js but I got the same problem and only in IE8. I had suspicion that it was the facebook plugin I got from facebook which stated to place the code at the top of page. I removed the code and page loaded without error then added it back and I got the error. I moved the code to the bottom of the page and it worked with no errors. The page even loaded faster.
