Description
Was playing around for first time with index and found anomaly with IE 7. Doesn't happen on Mozilla/Chrome/Safari. It looks like IE is adding an element to DOM before the document.body.
The indices for dom elements in I/E 7
<html> = 0 <head> = 1 <body> = 3

I did some more research and updated my sample html, turns out IE is adding a <TITLE> when none exists.

- Status changed from new to closed
- Resolution set to invalid
The <title> element is required for most doctypes, so IE is probably adding an empty one in an attempt to to turn an invalid document into a valid one.

Also, since the document uses self-closing tags this must be some variation of XHTML, but there is no doctype so IE is parsing it in quirks mode.
Please follow the bug reporting guidlines and use jsFiddle when providing test cases and demonstrations instead of pasting the code in the ticket.
