IE throws error KB927917 when displaying google map
Monday, October 12th, 2009 - 07:23Recently, when developing a directory of bed and breakfasts in Cornwall, which features a google map on the home page, and testing in Internet Explorer, IE8 threw the following error :
HTML Parsing Error: Unable to modify the parent container element before the child element is closed (KB927917)
Previous versions of IE simply gave up, with the helpful message ‘Operation Aborted’. With a little digging, I came across a Microsoft help file, which explains that this message
‘is triggered by an HTML parsing exception that occurs when all the following specific conditions are met:
- The HTML file is being parsed
- Script is executing
- The executing script attempts to add, or remove an element from an unclosed ancestor in the markup tree (not including the script block’s immediate parent element).’
and that one way of preventing it occuring is to
‘move your script execution to a function that is invoked after parsing is complete (e.g., onload)’
All well and good, but …. not, because the google map on the home page was being called from an onload() function, in exactly the same way as another instance of the map elsewhere, but this other map was not throwing the error.
Why ? And why was it only throwing the error on the live instance of the site, not the local one ?
After much frustrated head scratching, the reason became clear. The home page map initialises hundreds of icons, but the other map initialises just one. The initialising of those icons was all being done inside the <head> of the page. The live site took longer to send the code to the brower, with the consequence that the google map was trying to modify its container element before the page was fully loaded.
The solution ? Simply, move all the icon initialisation code to after the closing <body> tag.
