CKEDITOR.dom.element.createFromHtml fails on style element in IE

[Scott González]

CKEDITOR.dom.element.createFromHtml fails to create style elements in IE. I've tested in IE6 and IE8; Safari and Firefox worked as expected.

The following code throws an error because the temp div does not contain any HTML after the call to .setHtml() in .createFromHtml():

CKEDITOR.dom.element.createFromHtml( '<style type="text/css">p { color: green; }</style>');

Problem has been reproducible in IE6-8 from CKEditor 3.0.

Just execute the above code in console or insert it in page in instanceReady event.

Message: 'getFirst()' is empty or not an object

The only supported browser which fail on this is IE8 (it works well on IE9). We don't want to make the code more complex because of this, so I think it's time to close this ticket.
