I am getting confused why IE and Chrome is having trouble rendering my Primefaces 3 UI.
I have basically this use case: I wanted to have an Add New Member button that when user clicks it a dialog will open asking for member details.

On firefox, no issue is encountered. Dialogs comes out.
But on Chrome and IE, nothing is happening when I click the button.
IE is also telling that addMemberDialog is undefined.
Another strange thing, only Firefox generates my footer and the complete </body> and </html>
end tag
which is strange. Both IE8 and Chrome seems to have an invalid HTML structure generated.
Does anyone know the reason?
UPDATED: This is the generated HTML taken directly from IE. Notice that there are no ending body and html tag.
