Ok, narrowed it down.
Someone tells me that Konqueror isn't working for that page either so it
looks like IE8 and Konqueror may share this behavior.
From the looks of it $button.append( "[" ); is working.
$('#bodyContent').append( "[" ); // works
$('#bodyContent').append( "[", "]" ); // "Invalid argument" in IE8 console,
works in FF Firebug console
$('#bodyContent').append( "asdf", "asdf" ); // "Invalid argument" in IE8
console, works in FF Firebug console
$('#bodyContent').append( document.createTextNode("["), "]" ); // works
$('#bodyContent').append( "<span>foo</span>", "]" ); // in IE8 console only
inserts the ']' the foo span is not inserted, works in FF Firebug console
$('#bodyContent').append( "<span>asdf</span>", "<span>qwerty</span>" ); // in
IE8 console only inserts the qwerty span the asdf span is not inserted, works
in FF Firebug console
So this looks like an IE8 (maybe Konqueror) issue where when .domManip
is used (by something like .append) with more than one argument with the
first being a string a "Invalid argument" error is thrown if the first
argument is not a valid node string. If the first argument is a valid
node string, instead the first argument is ignored and the rest are
inserted.
