[Building Sakai] Profile 2 and IE8 issue

Hi Alan,

No this is an internal Wicket javascript library added when you add components for rendering, it's not in any HTML page. I don't think this is the solution in this particular case as each HTML page in Profile2 has the doctype declaration as the very first element.

cheers,
Steve

Best to double check that we don't have some other places that might trigger a bang. Nuno can you advise, is it just an HTML page using a certain javascript method with a specific HTML tag in the page?
