Question

I have 2 nested with statements each one has a createElemet function, it runs correctly in every browser except IE9, in IE9 it doesn’t even give a error, what’s the problem?

the code:

with(block = document.createElement('div')){
    with (detaildiv = document.createElement('div'))
    {
        alert('test');
    }
}

Answer 1

As I have already mentioned in a comment, I found a very simple solution:

Use window.document.*** instead of directly using document.*** in inner withs:

with(block = document.createElement('div')) { 
    with (detaildiv = window.document.createElement('div')) { 
        alert('test'); 
    } 
} 

You should also consider refactoring your code and replacing the with statements by other constructs.
