Question

I’m having problems with append() in ie. I checked most solutions but they did not work.
IE is giving me the jQuery error at qObject.append(createSurveyXmlAnswer(aID));

Why does this happen and are there any solutions?

function createSurveyXmlAnswer(aID){
    var xmlString =  "<answer id = '" + aID + "'>";
    return xmlString;
}
function getAnswer(){
    var aID;
    var qID = parseInt($(document.getElementById("screenView").childNodes[0]).attr("id"));  
    var qType = ($(document.getElementById("screenView").childNodes[0]).attr("class"));  
    var qObject = $("<question id = "+qID+">");
    if(qType.toLowerCase() == "singleselect"){
        aID = singleSelectedSelection(qID);
        qObject.append(createSurveyXmlAnswer(aID));
        setAnswer(aID, qID, qObject);
    }

edit:

I’m using this to build a jQuery object > xml doc. qID, qType are form attributes, aID is the input value. The form was created on the fly.

Answer 1

I used javascript xml dom instead of jQuery, more coding but it works on IE.
