JQuery "events" is a null error or is not an object "when using empty () or html ()

Question

I get the following error in IE:

'events' - null or not an object - jquery-latest.js? d = 1848173663, line 113 character 467

I am using jQuery 1.4.2, I am not able to update it since we are on an earlier version of the jQuery user interface and have too many errors using anything newer than 1.4.2.

I get the following error when I run this bit of code a second time :

$.post("page/view.do?undoCache=" + Math.random(), {
   pageId: pId
}, function(xmlContent){
   console.log('1');//get this one
   $('#reloadCenterDiv').empty();
   console.log('2');//don't get this one unless line above is commented out, then will run til next line
   $('#reloadCenterDiv').html(xmlContent);
   console.log('3');//don't get this
});

I am sure that I am not doing anything for #reloadCenterDiv between calls.

Google for events error "events" is null or not an object "I found this:

HTML #reloadCenterDiv:

<div id="reloadCenterDiv" style="border:none; margin: 0; overflow:auto; overflow-y:scroll; height: auto;"></div>
