This causes failures in IE 8 and 9

i think the first two tests fail (i don't know why i can't see the trailing whitespace one) in IE8 because of the use of .textContent. too bad we can't see the stack trace.

not sure about the others. <col> should work with the wrap map, but i don't know why it doesn't.

Wonder if there is a way to get the stack trace.

Dug into this a bit deeper. This has more to do with IE8/9 going into quirks mode. Adding a doctype should fix the problem.

You should end up with test results that look like this: https://cloudup.com/cFn1F4yq8v2

Oh nice. I will see if I wasn't adding a doctype. I dont really care about
old IE but figured it would be nice.

There's no easy fix for the readonly properties. Here's some possible solutions:

I hate IE. This is why we can't have nice things.

How does jquery handle this?
