Error with .html()

[MrMamen]

I get an error on line 600 only in IE, when trying to set html on a object.

The code which works in earlier versions of jQuery (and other browsers) is like this: $dialogContent.html(ajaxFetchedContent);

ajaxFetchedContent contains <script>-tags, and seem to be the reason for failing. the script are valid javascript (as they work on pages where they are not included dynamically, and in other browsers), but when commenting htem away I get no such error.

After further investigation, this only failes if html-comments are present inside script block. Like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function foo() {
  //bar
}
// -->
</script>
