Comment 6 for bug 1270752

It would appear this is a regression caused by the patch https://reviews.mahara.org/#/c/1832/ in Mahara 1.8.0.

It changes the paginator from using the surrounding <div>'s innerHTML, to using the table's innerHTML. But my research indicates that in IE9 and earlier, the innerHTML of a <table> is read-only: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms533897%28VS.85%29.aspx

When I revert that commit in 1.8_STABLE, I am unable to replicate the original bug it was meant to fix (Bug 993676). So, it would appear that we've either fixed the problem somewhere else in the code, or the behavior in Chromium that was causing the issue has been fixed on their side. Either way, I'm going to suggest reverting the patch.
