f(x)=\frac{1}{1+ln|x|}
the ln|x| part could be -1 when x=e^-1
correct??

Certainly!
Do you have any other solutions to the equation 1+ln|x|=0?

Well, if ln|x|=-1, what must |x| equal?

|x|=e^-1
x=-e^-1
x=e^-1

But Arildno's point is that that is not the only value. As you said, the denominator is 0 for e^{-1} or -e^{-1}.
