Unexpected Call to Method or Property Error with JQuery .select()

Question

I'm using CLEditor as an RTE and it works perfectly except for in IE 8, the error that is produced is:

SCRIPT65535: Unexpected call to method or property access.
jquery.cleditor.js, line 1027 character 7
SCRIPT65535: Unexpected call to method or property access. 
jquery.cleditor.js, line 1027 character 7

The line to which it is referring is the line editor.range[0].select(); in the following function:

function restoreRange(editor) {
    if (ie && editor.range)
        editor.range[0].select();
}

I've had a look around for similar questions but none of them have this kind of context. Any help appreciated.

What is your configuration ? Going to the plugin website, I get no error in IE8. — Didier Ghys, Jan 04 '12 at 13:29

I'm too low to comment, so I'll suggest this in the answer block... Could you post some of your document? Whenever I see a strange error in IE like this for something that should work, I check to see whether the html document has a doctype specified.

Could the issue be IE8 running in quirks mode?
