The problem here are the spaces between <div id="main"> and the img-Tag. Mozilla
handles these spaces as firstChild, so the img-tag ist childNodes[1]. But IE
seems to ignore these spaces, so the img-Tag is firstChild (childNodes[0]). The
easiest way would be eliminating these spaces, so both are having the img-Tag as
firstChild. If that's not possible, you could step through the childs with
nextSibling till you find the one you're looking for.
