So, the first error occurs in jQuery Lib, here is the function:

var isXML = function(elem){

return elem.nodeType === 9 && elem.documentElement.nodeName !== "HTML"

!!elem.ownerDocument && isXML( elem.ownerDocument );

Error 1 occur here, he try to access elem.documentElement.nodeName, but elem doesn't has the property documentElement or ownerDocument.

};

And the other is in our lib, here is the function:

EnvironmentManager.prototype.getDialogs = function( id ) {

var ar = new Array() var document = this.getDocument() if ( document ) {

---

if ( obj1 && obj1.length ) {

ar.push( obj1 )

}

} var obj2 = $( "#" + id ) if ( obj2 && obj2.length ) {

ar.push( obj2 )

} return ar

}

This error doesn't occur in IE7, FF3, Safari and IE8 compatibility mode IE7.

Can you provide a complete test case?

[wm_eddie]

I'm not a hundred percent sure, but I think this might be caused by calling find while a document is still loading.

I stated seeing this error in IE8 when using multiple iframes.

Is adding a simple check for elem.documentElement before accessing nodeName incorrect behavior?

[wm_eddie]

I think this bug should be closed as not a bug.

In the multiple iframe case, this bug is triggered because I was trying to search though the contents of the iframes inside of a $(document).ready which runs when the DOM of the parent page is loaded. What I wanted was to run it on $(window).load instead, which runs only after everything on the page is loaded. This seems to have fixed my problem, and I no longer see this error.

Closed per your request.
