JavaScript error: SCRIPT16389: Unspecified error.

we had an issue with running our enterprise web app (e4se) under IE8 and IE9, it gives error message "SCRIPT16389: Unspecified error", apparently this is not quite helpful but it did give me the line of the code that caused the panic.

here is the original code:

var oOption;
oOption = document.createElement("OPTION");
oOption.text = descValue;
oOption.value = codeValue;
sel.add(oOption); //this is where the error occurs

after refer to one of Microsoft's technical article on its Javascript implementation, I changed the above code to:

sel.options.add(oOption);
oOption.innerHTML = descValue;
oOption.value = codeValue;

the mentioned MS article is listed below:

very inspiring article...however in my case, if I get it of xmldocument all together (actually it is DataTable.select inside the xmldatadocument), the overall time it takes to finish project revaluation decreased from 30min to 12min!

The HTTP request is unauthorized with client authentication scheme 'Anonymou s'. The authentication header received from the server was 'NTLM'.

when testing a wcf web service, this error appears while it was working without any issue.
I had been searching for the answer for quite a while and none of them seems to fix my issue.
After reviewing my settings carefully, it appears that another settings in web.config is causing the problem. After I removed the section everything seems to be working again~
