Jean ANDRE commented on RF-12038:
---------------------------------

There is another issue with with a same message but we cannot pinpoint the exact reason of that.
Here is the workbench (setuped) and the steps to reproduce the bug.
1) Install the workbench and read the readme.txt file for additional information
2) Do not hesitate to request any information about it
3) Once the page appears (http://localhost:9080/NestedWeb/pages/index.jsf)
   or (http://localhost:9080/NestedWeb/index.html
4) Select the tab "Items management"
5) Enter a number and press "New List" button
6) Once a new dynamic tab is created with a list, close the tab by clicking on X image
   IE reports the following error:
     Line: 5
     Erreur : Cet objet ne gère pas cette propriété ou cette méthode
     >Object does not support this property or method

Another way to reproduce the case is:
   7) From the step 6, click on any item from the list - Open link
   8) From the available tasks link, click on task, a new task tab appears
   9) Close the tab by clicking on X image
      IE reports the following error:
      Line: 8
      Erreur : Cet objet ne gère pas cette propriété ou cette méthode

>From the workbench, we removed any id="xzy" name="xyz", then the bug should not come from this case but from another reason. Under FireFox, everything works perfectly.

Similar error on the Web of the past...
