JQuery Global Error With IE6

I was putting together some ajax functionality to work with a Domino site, and kept running into a global error in IE6. Firefox worked fine, but IE 6 kept complaining about a global error. See image below.

I had set up a tabbed interface to retrieve the appropriate views via Ajax based on parameters set on the calling document. When the page loaded, and the document tried to get the views from the back-end the error occurred.

I googled around a bit, and came up with this post, which fixed the problem.

The issue is that the site has a “base” element in the head section of the form (<base href=”someURL”/>), and IE needs to have it closed like a normal tag as in <base href=”someURL”></base>.
