object doesn't support property or method "addEventListener"

[inVader]

object doesn't support property or method "addEventListener" jquery-1.7.1.js, line 464 symbol 4 IE 9.0, Windows 7

Could be fixed by changing line 459 to if ( document.addEventListener && window.addEventListener ) {

next error is

object doesn't support property or method "removeEventListener" jquery-1.7.1.js, line 922 symbol 3

Could be fixed by changing line 920 to

if ( document.removeEventListener ) {

this bug exists since jquery-1.4 jquery-1.3.2 doesn't have this bug

This bug cannot be reproduced in JSFiddle, because it only appears to happen in MSIE compatability mode which JSFiddle itself doesn't support.

the error is thrown from JQuery.ready.promise, to reproduce open Internet Explorer, use $(document).ready( fn ), open dev console (F12) and set the Document mode to IE7 Standards. I'm using JQuery edge in my tests:

jQuery.ready.promise = function( obj ) {

if ( !readyList ) {

readyList = jQuery.Deferred(); if ( document.readyState === "complete" ) {

setTimeout( jQuery.ready );

} else {

[ERROR Thrown here] document.addEventListener( "DOMContentLoaded", completed, false ); window.addEventListener( "load", completed, false );

}

} return readyList.promise( obj );

};
