I had a similiar problem when using the ready event with scripts at
the bottom of the page - in that case the ready event isn't necessary
and I just forgot to remove it. After removal the error in IE was
gone.

By the way, you don't really need to use eval there:

parent.location = '/index.php?date=' + thedate;
