Internet Explorer crash on closing jQuery UI dialog due to new IE update (KB2761451)

Question

We are using jQuery UI Dialog to insert data into the database. When the jQuery dialog is going to close on submit the IE hanged and showing a message: "IE stopped working". The issue is caused due to an update "Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 9 for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2761451)". I have confirmed by uninstall this specific update the issue is resolved.

I am using following line of code to close the dialog

 $('#' + dialogName).dialog('close'); 

To uninstall the IE Update is not a permanent solution. how can I fix this issue permanently ????

Answer 1

You can't call .dialog() before the DOM is ready in IE. Move your call to test() instead of $(document).ready();

Answer 2

I have the same issue, but in my case there were 3 required conditions:

1) using jquery-ui 1.10.3 (with 1.9.2 it works fine)

2) in the page's init script there were script, that adds a form to the body:

jQuery('<form id="frmId" method="post" action="page.aspx"></form>')
    .appendTo("body");

3) show modal dialog:

$("<div/>").dialog({modal});

Removing any of this condition solved this issue for me :)
