Access violation exception in IE

Access violation exception in IE

Hey guys,

i have a strange error. With the following code i got the exception "Unhandled exception at 0x40044440 in iexplore.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000018." after clicking on the link.


  1. <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <head>
    <title></title>
    <script src="jquery-1.5.1.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div style="width: 100%; max-height: 400px; overflow: scroll;">
            <table>
                <tr>
                    <td>
                        test
                    </td>
                </tr>
            </table>
        </div>
        <a id="testlink" href="#">test</a>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            $(function () {
                $("#testlink").click(function () {
                    $("table").remove();
                    return false;
                });
            });
        </script>
    </body>
    </html>

























I'm using WinXP with IIS 5.1 and IE 8 (with Firefox no error occurs).

If i change the styles of the table all works fine, but i don't see any wrong parts. Can anybody tell me how to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance.
