Hi,
>IE7 Beta 1:
><HTML><HEAD><TITLE>...</TITLE><SECTION></HEAD>
><BODY>...</SECTION>
><DIV>...</DIV></BODY></HTML>

I think that IE treats <section> as one empty element, and </section> as
another empty element, so the DOM tree looks like:
HTML
- HEAD
- - TITLE
- - SECTION
- BODY
- - #text
- - /SECTION
- - DIV
- - - #text
Based on the results of:
javascript:alert(document.getElementsByTagName("SECTION")[0].nodeValue);
javascript:alert(document.getElementsByTagName("/SECTION")[0].nodeType);
(nodeType is interesting, because IE will grab nodes that are not
ELEMENT_NODEs with getElementsByTagName, such as the doctype declaration
which according to IE has a tagName of "!" and nodeType of 8...)
Regards,
Simon Pieters
