Okay, I think I've decided what I'm going to do. I'm going to write or find a simple page that uses document.getElementById that works in IE, and slowly change it to make it an exact clone of the page that my server returns. Eventually, I'll see where the problem lays.

In the mean time, any insights would still be helpful.

The error is on this line:
However the error is not in the "document.getElementById(id);" part, it is in the "item=" part.

The variable item already has a value from previous function calls you have made, so when you are assigning to it, the JavaScript code actually tries to set the default property of "item" to the new value.

One way to fix this is to use
To make item a local variable of the function.

Wow.

I found that out just now and was coming back to post to say I had, lmao. Thanks to everyone who sat through it, and thanks to The Dark.

The site works fine in IE now.
