Two solutions

Here are two things I know are not show in any console but will cause your view not to render.

Mixing UTF8 content in Windows 1252 charset webpage

IE8 and IE9 will totally choke on this and in some special case will stop rendering and you will get a blank page. This could take hours to debug with no error anywhere!! Maybe try to put the webpage in UTF-8 would be a good starting point

Not having a serialize() function in your View

MySuper.View = new Backbone.View.extend({
  template: "myHtmlFile",
  (...),
  serialize: function()
  { return { data: this.model };
  }
)};
