Question

I’m using the Jquery plugin, Rotate v2.2. http://code.google.com/p/jqueryrotate/

In IE7 I see the following error.

SCRIPT5007: Unable to get value of the property ‘removeChild’: object is null or undefined

_Loader:(function()
    {
        if (IE)
        return function()
        {
            var width=this._img.width;
            var height=this._img.height;
            this._img.parentNode.removeChild(this._img); ***//Error Here***

            this._vimage = this.createVMLNode('image');
            this._vimage.src=this._img.src;
            this._vimage.style.height=height+"px";
            this._vimage.style.width=width+"px";
            this._vimage.style.position="absolute"; // FIXES IE PROBLEM - its only rendered if its on absolute position!
            this._vimage.style.top = "0px";
            this._vimage.style.left = "0px";

            /* Group minifying a small 1px precision problem when rotating object */
            this._container =  this.createVMLNode('group');
            this._container.style.width=width;
            this._container.style.height=height;
            this._container.style.position="absolute";
            this._container.setAttribute('coordsize',width-1+','+(height-1)); // This -1, -1 trying to fix that ugly problem
            this._container.appendChild(this._vimage);

            this._temp.appendChild(this._container);
            this._temp.style.position="relative"; // FIXES IE PROBLEM
            this._temp.style.width=width+"px";
            this._temp.style.height=height+"px";
            this._temp.setAttribute('id',this._parameters.id);
            this._temp.className=this._parameters.className;            

            this._BindEvents(this._temp,this._parameters.bind);
            _finally.call(this);

        }
        else

It is one of the documented issues of the plugin.

The only workaround suggested is the following:

Try replacing line ~132

 this._img.parentNode.removeChild(this._img);//replace this...

 jQuery(this._img).parent().find(this._img).remove();// with this
