MathJax (and WordPress) - probs in IE8

Hi Davide,
I am having problems with MathJax in IE8. I have it running on a
WordPress install. One of my students reported just seeing raw source
with IE8 so MathJax is not trying to process the page at all. It works
fine in other browsers such as latest of Opera, FF and Safari. I have
tried to research the problem but with no success :(
In IE8 I get an error "parentNode is null or not an object". I tried a
few things prompted by some of the discussions elsewhere in these
Forums without success, but I noticed that if I rolled back to MathJax
1.0.1a release then all is well, but if I take the latest version out
of svn I get the problem.
Thanks

Can you point me to a page that exhibits the problem? (You can send a
URL by email if you don't want it made public.)

Thanks.

I have diagnosed the problem and will provide a fix as soon as I can.
I'll post again when that is in place.

PS, the problem I think you are having was introduced in SVN 621, so
going back to SVN 620 would get you a number of important fixes since
1.0.1 while still avoiding the problem.
