IE returns incomplete HTML via Ajax

Question

It comes down to this line:

jQuery.ajax(
{
    type    : "POST",
    url     : "....",
    data    : daten,
    dataType: 'html',
    success : function(response)
    { 
        jQuery('div[id="Main"]').html(response);
        ...

The problem ist that IE responds incomplete blocks of the "response" depending of what IE Version I use. Like it does not return any content in IE 8 whereas it returns like 90 % of the content in IE-9. Interesting thing is: in IE-9 it cuts off html-code (like 10 lines) but then it goes back on. It does not cut off completely it just randomly creates "holes" in the HTML code.

In IE 10 it works just fine ... on my machine, on others it does not.

We already tried to use append(), appendTo(), empty(), innerHtml and all that stuff but none of them worked.

Also, we are working in Demandware; so there is just the production instance, that does not show the code correcty. All other instances are working with the same code-version.

Seems like anything that is being loaded additionally makes the ajax Call go cray in IE.

Does anyone have an idea how to fix this ?

Sounds like the HTML it returns is invalid. Can you show the contents of the response? — JJJ, Jun 23 '14 at 11:30
Also, `div[id="Main"]` is a pretty convoluted selector. Just use `#Main`. — JJJ, Jun 23 '14 at 11:32

@Juhana am not confident where there are right so posted as comment..its better tthan to ans wrong ans — Somnath Kharat, Jun 23 '14 at 11:43
HTML has been checked, it's correct. response.d does not work. #main is not suitable to be used in demandware; that's why I am using this syntax. Why should I stringify it when I recieve a plain text ? — user1697061, Jun 23 '14 at 12:43

The solution was a <!-- starting tag inside a javascript. Because it was not closed but divided by \r, older IE browsers could not handle it
