HTML Parsing Error

Question

I can't find out what the problem is, and why I keep receiving this error in Internet Explorer 8, as it's the only error that I am receiving. Any thoughts as to what it means, or a simple solution? I haven't noticed any problems with my code though, it's just the message that bugs me.

Webpage error details.

Message: HTML Parsing Error: Unable to modify the parent container element before the child element is closed (KB927917)
Line: 0
Char: 0
Code: 0

Answer 1

The answer is there in the error - KB927917 says:

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.

For example, this problem may occur if a DIV element is a child container in a BODY element, and a SCRIPT block in the DIV element tries to modify the BODY element that is a parent container for the DIV element.
