When using <object> style embedding with the latest build in internet explorer 8, initialization fails with one of these javascript errors:

svg.js:1579 flashObj.parentNode.removeChild(flashObj); 'parentNode' is null or not an object

svg.js:1607 child._fakeNode._htcNode = null; '_fakeNode' is null or not an object

Safari 4.0.3, Firefox 3.5.2 work fine with both native and flash renderer.

This also f.e. happens with the helloworld demo.

The very illogical thing about the svg.js:1579 error is, that if you add a Watchpoint at the time the debugger breaks for the error it works just fine, and the parentNode property is all there. I can even take the line and execute in on the console. I'm very puzzled.

For the second error, the child object really is missing the _fakeNode property.

Fixed in r794.
