I am new to javascript and have been working overnight to see how I can fix this error on IE: Here’s the question I asked here yesterday: How to fix this jquery function to work in IE?

After spending more than 20 hours I still can’t find out why it wouldn’t render parts of my page properly.

At the very least I thought I could find a way to get the errors so I can fix them or do a separate javascript file just for IE, but no luck.

How do I see error messages for my script?

I used F12 to see the developer console but no help there, it won’t even tell me what’s wrong.

I am using IE 8 and 9.

I know that there could be many things wrong with this and I appreciate your patience in advance for helping me out. Thanks!

    You have invalid HTML including many invisible characters within the head section which is also blocking the W3C HTML Validator from getting past the first few errors.

    When I copied your source code into my text editor, I found a bunch of invalid invisible characters. Did you cut/paste your JavaScript from someplace like a web-page? The invisibles only appear in front of your custom written scripts in the <head> and nowhere else. This could certainly explain a lot, including the validation error about a misplaced </head> tag. Go back to your editor and delete the indentations on every single line within the entire <head></head> section, then re-indent each line from scratch.

    I also see an invalid closing tag, </label6>.

    Remove the invisible characters, fix the invalid HTML, and see what IE does.

    Moving forward, get yourself a powerful text editor that will allow you to see invisible characters so you can delete them and properly indent as needed. Otherwise, I recommend re-typing your code rather than cutting & pasting.
