HTML parsing error KB927917 IE8

I am getting this error in IE 8 .

But not in all IE 8.

In some system web page is working fine , some are not.

Is it because of some settings.

Enabling or disabling some script will do the magic?

If anyone have gone through this error and solved :) please suggest.

The error can be as simple as a missing closing tag in HTML code.

Sample code :

<li>
    <a rel="fancy" href="some-highres-image" title="some-title">
        <img src="some-lowres-image" alt="some-name" width="75" height="75" />
        <span class="zoom">Zoom displayed onmouseover</a> <!-- This should be </span> -->
    </a>
</li>

where rel="fancy" calls fancybox after dom ready. The missing closing span tag triggers the KB927917 error in IE8 (8.0.6001.18702)

Please refer to this thread.

This is a known issue in I.E.8 and Microsoft site posts suggests installation of Cumulative Security fix pack version KB2360131 to resolve this issue.

I successfully reproduced this issue on two laptops and was able to resolve it after installing this fix pack. I also tried to uninstall this fix pack and issue reoccurred.

You have to check if the dom is loaded:

$(function(){ 
   ...
});

I got the same error as well, I couldn't reproduce it on all IE8. But this solved it!

Your users may be running IE8 as IE7 compatibility mode, if that breaks the code you need to detect document.documentMode and branch a fix for IE7.

To find the problem code, run it in compatibility mode yourself and use the IE8 debugger.
