Possible Duplicate:
Javascript doesn't work in IE8

I have the following code 

 var ind=1;
 try
   {
     rdo = document.createElement('<input type="radio" name="radioOptions" />');

    }
  catch(err)
  {
    rdo = document.createElement('input');                  
  }
  rdo.setAttribute('type','radio');// error
  rdo.setAttribute('name','radioOptions');
  rdo.id = 'radioOption_'+ind;
  rdo.value = ind;

After a thorough checkup this line is throwing error on IE 8 

 rdo.setAttribute('type','radio')

and a strange fact is that when it is on the local system its not doing that.
I am dynamically adding this radio input to the form. And the Doc type i have set to 

 <!doctype html>

Any Idea what should work for all Browsers including the ASS HOLE IE

    You can not change the type of input elements in IE with setAttribute(). You could try with rdo.type = 'radio' (which should work) or (ugh) innerHTML.

    Also, document.createElement() is used with the element’s name, i.e. input. It is not like $() in jQuery or similar libraries.
