In doing cross browser testing of the 2.8 RC0 available here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/geonetwork/files/GeoNetwork_unstable_development_versions/v2.8.0RC0/

It appears that the tabsearch interface works well in IE9, but fails to
load completely in IE8.

IE8 reports a javascript error with the following details:

Webpage error details

Message: 'events' is null or not an object

Line: 7

Char: 165007

Code: 0

Comment(by ianwallen):

Looks like it may be related to Ticket #1009 - may be the same bug?

Comment:

See fix in commit 1e2d3b4dfe68e46ece2e651231ebc2fdceaa2a82

#1009 has an IE error console that includes the report of this bug but is
actually a different bug

This cryptic error message usually means that there is an extra comma in a
JS object definition - IE doesn't tolerate these whilst FF does
