Rails - Mar 2006 - RJS - Still not working in IE

The previous thread on this topic got a little disjointed, so I thought 
I''d summarize the issue again, in hopes that someone could help.  To 
re-iterate, this rjs works in Firefox and Safari on Mac, and in Firefox 
on Windows.  It fails, in IE on Windows.  The failure is that the second 
page.replace_html seems to do nothing.

My environment is:

Rails 1.0 + RJS Plugin
Updated Javascripts to Scriptaculous 1.5.3 (for evalScripts support)
Monkeypatched in_place_editor to support evalScripts

This is the complete contents of the .rjs:

page.replace_html ''current_search_name_editor'', :partial
=>"search_name"
page.replace_html ''search_pane'', :partial =>
"search"

My view contains:

...
<div class="SearchName"
id="current_search_name_editor">
   <%= render :partial => "search_name" %>
</div>

<%= start_form_tag( {:action=> "master"}, {:id
=>"conditions_form"} ) %>
<div id="search_pane">
   <%= render :partial => ''search'' %>
</div>
...

The _search_name.rhtml partial:

<%= in_place_editor_field :current_search, :name, {}, {:script => true } 
%>

The _search.rhtml partial:

<ul id="condition_list">
  <p class="LabelText">
    <% if @current_search.conditions &&
@current_search.conditions.size 
> 0 %>
    <%= render :partial => ''condition'',
      collection => @current_search.conditions.sort { |b, a| a.id <=> 
b.id}
    %>
    <% else %>
    <p>&nbsp;</p>
    <% end %>
  </p>
</ul>

I would be grateful for any advice on figuring out what is going on.

Just to bring closure to this thread, the problem here was bad HTML in  
the _search.rhtml partial.  Using <p> inside the <ul>, but outside
of
any <li> is invalid HTML, even though it works and looks fine in most  
cases.  But it caused the problem in IE.  IE just refused to update the  
part of the DOM containing this bad HTML.
