WebHelp doesn't display in IE8 after applying IE10 fix

We're using RoboHTML 9 to generate WebHelp. We've applied the IE10 fixes to the output; however, after copying and replacing the 2 files, the Help does not display in IE8. We are running the Help locally in a Windows 7 system.

Tons of js errors appear in IE8...examples:

'whMessage' is undefined

whskin_frmset01.htm

Message: Script error

Line: 0

Char: 0

Code: 0

URI: file:///[masked]/WebHelp/whver.js

Message: Script error

Line: 0

Char: 0

Code: 0

URI: file:///[masked]/WebHelp/whutils.js

We've cleared cache and the errors still appear. Doesn't occur in Firefox and Chrome. Any ideas?

Weird. Does it work in IE10 though?

This almost suggests that there is a syntax error in one of the scripts blocking the execution. But that would normally break all browsers...

Do you have a plugin like ChromeFrame installed? Perhaps that is playing foul.

If you click F12 and go to the tab console, reload the page. Can you post the errors from the console?
