Why does referencing a dynamically generated function (via layer.insertAdjacentHTML) give an error?

As far as I remember layer isn't IE-Syntax, so I guess the function 
isn't even genrated.
HTH
I'll engage my brain and suggest you meant a div or span identifier 
where you wrote layer.
IE often reports 'unknown runtime error' when trying to insert or 
insertAdjacent, Microsoft's responses to us have been 'er, don't know, 
try something else instead' More often than not they say either nest 
the layer in another, or place another layer inside the one you are 
trying to insert into and insert into that one. If you follow.
They are actually quite unhelpful, as is IE's error line numbering, 
quite often way off the mark.
