Message: HTML Parsing E

Answer 1

A current version of https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js caused this bug on IE8 in one of my sites.

Easiest solution - remove google+.

Easy solution - wrap the code in jquery's document.ready -function or similar:

$(document).ready(function(){
     var po = document.createElement('script'); po.type = 'text/javascript'; po.async = true;
     po.src = 'https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js';
     var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(po, s);
});
