Answer 1

Without even seeing code, my gut tells me that you have a trailing comma somewhere inside an array or object literal. IE will choke on those with the Object expected error, usually at line 1 (which is meaningless).

Something like this:

var something = [
  "val1",
  "val2",
  "val3",
  "val4",
];
      ^^^^^

Answer 2

Install IE9 and pray it produces the same error. Press F12 to open the developer console which is somewhat capable of doing useful debugging.

Have fun.

Answer 3

You can install 'IEDeveloper' tool onto IE8 or IE7 (i guess you will not using IE6, if you are not lucky enough :)), and debug the page and that will show the exact location where the problem is , shortcut F12
