the URI is localhost (so nobody except you is able to have a look at it) – Chronister 13/5, 2011 at 11:6

Well what's on line 3422 in that file? – Pablo 13/5, 2011 at 11:8

this is not too localized, I have seen this on many sites and the accepted answer below is the solution I typically use. – Overstay 14/11, 2011 at 18:38

I vote to re-open. This question and answer just helped me. – Fugal 21/11, 2011 at 22:41

IE9 was released in March 2011. In the URL you posted, I see the Telerik version is 2010.2.929.40 (September 2010). Perhaps this is just a compatibility issue with the older Telerik version and the new browser? What you can do is either get a newer RadControls build, or force your page to use IE8 rendering. For more information about IE compatibility modes, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc288325%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

TL;DR - Add the following meta tag in the header of your page and see if it makes a difference:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=IE8" >

This did not work for me. In IE9 I had to put IE=8 rather than IE=IE8. – Larghetto 11/10, 2012 at 20:39

Thanks a lot! ´<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" >´ worked for me. In my case I think the problem was in an older version of mootools. This fix gives me some time to upgrade... – Tricho 30/1, 2013 at 6:43

From the HTML::DOM::Exception - The Exception interface for HTML::DOM

you can see the reason for this as

INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR (5)

    If an invalid character is specified, such as in a name.
