First I read the explanation on the IE Engineering blog that explains some new implementations done on innerHTML in IE9: Interoperable HTML Parsing in IE9.

Using libraries like jQuery you tend to forget facing these issues. So let’s take a look at two little tests causing an issue in IE9.
What’s different in IE10 PP2? Let’s fire up this great little online tool https://jsfiddle.net/ and do a little test.

<tr>, <tbody>
Test it yourself by opening the URL in IE10: https://jsfiddle.net/A2LyA/1/ for <tbody> and https://jsfiddle.net/A2LyA/2/ for <tr>

<option> elements in <select>
Try it out in IE10 PP2: https://jsfiddle.net/HUB4R/

Totally quick & dirty but you get the point.
