I've been fighting with this bug too and I believe I've found the fix. I can't be 100% sure, but I believe the problem was in the jquery.metaData plugin. The fix has worked for me and 2 other people so far... Here is the fix I posted on my blog, hope it helps. And if it does work for you, then this is definitely what's been driving so many people crazy! http://fyneworks.blogspot.com/2007/04/fix-for-jquery-bug-in-ie-working-with.html = Fix for jQuery bug in IE - Working with XML documents = It's been driving me crazy and I'm not alone (1, 2). But I've finally managed to fix the weird jQuery bug in IE when working with XML documents (or so I hope). The bug isn't in jQuery itself, it's in the very popular Metadata plug-in, used to load meta data and settings from elements using the class property. The Error: Lines 101 - 105 in the Metadata plugin. if ( $.meta.single ) this[ $.meta.single ] = data; // Throws error on XML documents in IE else $.extend( this, data ); // Throws error on XML documents in IE this.metaDone = true; // Throws error on XML documents in IE The fix: Find lines 75-77 in the Metadata plugin: $.fn.setArray = function(){ return setArray.apply( this, arguments ).each(function(){ if ( this.metaDone ) return; And make the following change: (add line) $.fn.setArray = function(){ return setArray.apply( this, arguments ).each(function(){ try{ this['meta']=null; }catch(e){ return; } // Detect and trap error if ( this.metaDone ) return; And that's it! This fix will allow Metadata to do what it does on HTML elements and not throw that obscure "Object doesn't support this property or method" error in Internet Explorer.
