Root Cause
A software use or operation error :-
In IE, while opening Modal dialog as part of button click, event.target.parnetNode is coming as empty due to which ajax call is sent without base reference. Run time based on base reference parameter activity from appropriate class is called. Since the end user's parameter is null, it throws error in tracer.Removing Refresh Other Section resolves the issue.
The user did not respond with business scenario to keep refresh other section action on button.As there are other buttons present based on visibility condition without Refresh Other Section for similar case.
