IE Quote problem

I am getting the following error when I try to Quote or Reply to a Post.

[color=#ff6600]
invalid xml declaration.

error is line 2 position 3>>ml version "1.0" standalone="yes"?><post><name><![CDATA[test]]></name><title><![CDATA[test]]></title><comment><<<![CDATA[test]]></comment></post>

GLOBAL:
<?xml version "1.0" standalone="yes"?><post><name><![CDATA[test]]></name><title><![CDATA[test]]></title><comment><<<![CDATA[test]]></comment></post>
[/color]

Also, when I click write comment the area does not expand to view the comment form. I do see the comment form after clicking quote or reply and receive the error. When quoting, the message form does add the following text: "failed to retrieve datas".

This only occurs in IE8. I am using compatibility view.

In Firefox, I get this error when posting quoted comment...
