You're making an assumption that in IE there are newline characters in the retrieved html - there aren't. Try this ...
// $codetext.pop(); // $codetext.shift(); if(!$codetext[$codetext.length-1]) delete $codetext[$codetext.length-1]; if(!$codetext[0]) delete $codetext[0]; ...and you'll see the end result. Your pop() and shift() were actually removing the entire *single* element of $codetext as returned by IE (post split).
