They also suggest:
"
To work around this problem, write script blocks that modify only closed
containers or that modify only the script's immediate container element.
To do this, you can use a placeholder to close the target container, or
you can move the script block into the container that you want to modify.
"
You could move your script code to a different place (and probably
discontinue using the taglib). I suspect you could easily write this
javascript as an external file that you call from wherever you need it.
I have a document myself with this rough layout:
<html>
<body>
<div id="target">
</div>
<script>
// call addChild on div#target
</script>
</body>
</html>
This works. I think you have a few options, here, besides re-doing
everything:
1. Create an empty <div> that takes up no space, and use that as the
target for your addChild.
2. Move the <script> that you are using to another place in the file
(though you might not be able to, given that you're using an onclick
event or something... right?)
3. Try something like calling a previously-defined function (at the top-
level, under <body>/<script>) that does your dirty work. It's unclear
to me if the problem is the location of the javascript source that
calls addChild or the fact that you are (directly or indirectly)
calling addChild from an existing child element.

You could always disable this particular function for certain MSIE
users. It looks like this affects all versions of MSIE prior to MSIE 8.
I love this note under the "status":
"
This behavior is by design.
