Yes, I reported an issue regrading this earlier this week. The jquery form plugin (http://jquery.malsup.com/form/#file-upload) was not forwarding ajax calls to the server and I was getting a script error message from the DivX plugin while testing my script, strange.. Thanks for sharing this, I guess I'm not crazy after all. My guess is one of their components is interfering with the browsers native xmlHTTPrequest somehow. I did not see this issue in IE 8

I have done some testing and when I installed all divX components, I received this message from IE9:
Webpage Error
Line: 72
Error: Invalid calling object
When I go to IE9 developer tools (F12) and under Script tab, click on Start debugging button, I get details about the error:
SCRIPT65535: Invalid calling object
script block (2), line 72 character 4
When you look at the script line 72, this line is highlighted:
appendChildOriginal(element);
Then I go to IE9, Manage add-ons, under Toolbars and Extensions, look for Divx, LLC and disable Divx Plus Web Player HTML5 and DivX HiQ and restart IE9 Browser.
The error is gone and my web application work perfectly.
I have conducting a test in all 4 main browsers (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari and Opera; including IE8) and it seems that it doesn't effect this browsers. (maybe DivX Web Component did not get installed in this browsers).
Just my opinion. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I have experienced this problem too. Our web app only worked in IE9 when the DivX extensions where disabled. But this is an unacceptable situation, as we cannot possibly instruct all our users to disable these.
So i dived further into it, and it seems this occurs when you try to append an element directly to the body. In other words doing something like this:
- $("body").append("<span>test</span>");
Since we could not live with this situation, I made a hackish quickfix, where I append to the first div in the body, if we ever try to append to body. Not a good solution, really, nor a general one, but it works in my specific web app. I will live with this until something better comes up:
- jQuery.fn.append = function() {
- return this.domManip(arguments, true, function( elem ) {
- if ( this.nodeType === 1 ) {
- var ob = this;
- if (jQuery.nodeName(this, "body")) ob = $(this).find(">div").get(0);
- ob.appendChild( elem );
- }
- });
- }
I am wondering if this is a jQuery bug, a IE9 bug, both or neither. Anyone have any thoughts?

PS: Oh, forgot to mention; This is with jQuery 1.6.1.

Just updated to IE9 and found I have the same issue. I can also report the issue occurs in IETester under an IE9 window.
DivX 2.3.0.20 Installed.
jQuery 1.6.1.
Disabling DivX Plus Web Player HTML5 and DivX HIQ addons fixes this problem (as you've found already).
I too am using append but to a div, not the body. The page errors out however before even using the append, technically the only thing that would've run would be some click events and document ready event.
If you need more information, let me know.

Oh and just found that when I click any button that is setup to a jQuery click event I get the following error:
Message: Invalid calling object
Line: 17
Char: 28710
Code: 0
URI: js/jquery.js
I'm using the production jQuery by the way.
Not sure if it's of any help.

I was getting this problem as well, and disabling the mentioned add-ons worked perfectly. But why is it happening in the first place? I wasn't appending any content to the DOM, I was fading divs in and out. Strange.

Confirmed in Internet Explorer 9 with DivX Plugin enabled.
It looks like jQuery fires some sort of Video detection code???
All I know is that on my code, I attempt to clone() and element, then append it after() and show() it and this causes IE9 Debugger to blow up on:
SCRIPT65535: Invalid calling object:I use no video on my site and am not sophisticated enough to really understand what's going on here but it seems related to the bug report:// HACK : override appendChild, replaceChild, insertBefore for IE, since it doesn't support DOM events
if (isInternetExplorer)
{
var appendChildOriginal = doc.body.appendChild;
doc.body.appendChild = function(element)
{
appendChildOriginal(element);
var tag = element.tagName.toLowerCase();
if ("video" == tag)
{
ProcessVideoElement(element);
}
}
Unfortunately, that bug was closed as invalid but I think that was the wrong disposition.
In any case this the fix posted by mortenkrane above has fixed the issue for me! :)
I really suspect it is a jQuery bug caused by the way DivX add-on attempts to interact with web pages which makes it much more difficult to diagnose because it works fine in IE9. (it's also attempting to download some stupid json "SEC7111: HTTPS security is compromised by http://download.divx.com/hiQ/hiQSupported.json" which is going to be another problem I have to solve).
If I get time, I'll post an example.

Oh, looks like there was another ticket: http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/9553 but it was closed because this is considered an edge-case issue... okay then.

Thank god I found this post. I had the same problem with IE9 and the invalid calling object. My jquery functions were not working, I couldn't figure out what it was after trying loads of things... but I disabled the DivX extension as suggested here and it works perfect now.
