getElementsByTagName() only shows opening tag for "nav" and "section"

This only shows opening tag for HTML5 tags section and nav however works with all other HTML4 tags. Is there solution?
I am on Windows 7.

Code: Select all

HTMLObj := ComObject("HTMLfile")
HTMLObj.write(HTML)

DOMObj := HTMLFileObj.getElementsByTagName("section")  ;or "nav"

msgbox DOMObj[0].outerHTML

; returns "<section class=mysection>"

check what HTMLObj.documentMode the comobj starts off with. anything short of 11 probly doesnt have .outerHTML working correctly for these elements.
if so, switch the mode by adding the meta-tag or applying the registry fix(see viewtopic.php?p=422001#p422001 for info)

I really dont understand what i should do to fix this. Adding

Code: Select all

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">

to the HTML page did not help.

Also another issue i have <noscript></noscript> comes out empty without any contents.

Code: Select all

HTML := '<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title></title> <style> </style> <script> //mysecipt 1 </script> <noscript>no script 1</noscript> </head> <body> <script> //mysecipt 2 </script> <noscript>no script 2</noscript> <div>Hello World!</div></body> </html>'

htmlObj := ComObject("HTMLfile")
htmlObj.write(HTML)

domElement := htmlObj.getElementsByTagName("script")
msgbox domElement[0].outerHTML  ; returns "<SCRIPT> //mysecipt 1 </SCRIPT>"

domElement := htmlObj.getElementsByTagName("noscript")
msgbox domElement[0].outerHTML  ; returns "<NOSCRIPT></NOSCRIPT>"
