When I use a datetimepicker on a form, I get the following error in Internet Explorer 8:

Message: HTML Parsing Error: Unable to modify the parent container element before the child element is closed (KB927917)

Has anyone else had this error and, if so, do you know how I can fix it?

Thanks,

Hi Mary Lynn,

That sounds like a problem with the sequencing of JavaScript execution on page load. It's not something that routinely occurs with datepickers.

Can you post a link to the form please.

The form is here:

Hi Mary Lynn,

Hmmm . . . I'm really not sure what's happening here. The message is consistent but not very informative :-(

It doesn't appear if you view the form without the template so my deduction is that it results from a conflict with another script on the page. There are quite a few of these and it's not obvious which is the cause. I'd diagnose further by turning the other modules off and then back on again until I pinned it down better -- probably starting with EventBrite as that also has some calendar code.
