Hi guys, Yup. The issue is in IE, when there is missing closing tags for various HTML tags, it can totally break the DOM, which doesn't allow the Element to find all your content to translate it.
The particular errors that the validator points out that you want to address that can make this work, are those labeled: "end tag for X omitted, but its declaration does not permit this" and "end tag for element X which is not open" If you eliminate those errors, the Element should work for you in IE.
