    From the docs:

    jQuery( html, [ownerDocument] )

    html A string of HTML to create on the fly. Note that this parses HTML,
    not XML.

    The argument passed to jQuery is not HTML(there is no html-element xml) so there will be nothing to append something to.

    Take a look at MSDN for informations about creation of XML-Documents in IE<9
