Question

i’ve just spent the last 4 hours working on this piece of code and was so happy to finally get it working, but it wont work in IE! I can’t undersand why?

Here is the code on jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/hQkFH/8/

Thank you!!

That code doesn’t exactly work well in Chrome. The problem that breaks it in Internet Explorer, however, is the trailing comma in the object literal:

$(this).clone().css({
    position: "absolute",
    top: offsetTop,
    left: offsetLeft, // <-- here
}).attr("id", "cloned").appendTo("body");

That syntax is valid, but causes an error in Internet Explorer before v9.
