Description
`$('').range().select();` throws an "Unspecified Error" in IE 10. I am not sure whether this applies to other IE versions as well. Seems to be fine in Chrome.
Here's a fiddle that demonstrates the problem and a workaround: http://jsfiddle.net/ZRZws/

Research direction
Start with the linked JSFiddle and reproduce the failure in IE 10, then trace the range().select() entry point in the repository. Compare the IE 10 behavior with Chrome and the workaround shown in the fiddle; done means selecting a table no longer throws the unspecified error in IE 10.
