Javascript request are failing randomly on IE8 but working on FF about labjs HOT 5 CLOSED

I did some more digging into the issue and it turns out that i'm doing div.innerHTML = "some html" right before calling the script function of LAB. This html replace is a code that gets executed as a part of a synchronous ajax response from jquery.

Also i noticed that there is a request in the servlet for the "resource that fails" but there is no invocation on the wait function

from labjs.

another interesting thing is that after the innerHTML replace is done, i cant see any of my console.log statements on the console and neither the alerts! but the LAB code for getting that resource is executed!

I'm confused about this bug report. Can you post a link to a page showing the issue, and explain reproduce steps and what to look for?

i'm sorry if i've confused you. i must admit that i did some edits to my original comments posted above as and when i found out new things.

the real issue turned out to be with innerHTML replaces in IE. if the html is malformed such as nested form tags etc

...then, the behavior is unpredictable in IE.
in my case, i was using LAB right after doing an innerHTML replace. A lot of things were unpredictable after doing that replace, such as console statements not showing up, alerts not showing up but surprisingly, the subsequent js code (LAB) was being executed albiet in an unpredictable fashion....

closing this issue as it is not an issue with LAB
