Hi,

As expected I’m having some troubles to append an element into another in IE.
Other browsers are working.

My code:

		var divToInsert = document.createElement('div');
		divToInsert.setAttribute('id', 'layer');
    	
    	var page_content = document.getElementById("page");
    	page_content.appendChild(divToInsert);

I’m not getting an error in IE. Someone has an idea?

Thanks!

Interesting, so basically reverse a few lines and it should work?

var divToInsert = document.createElement('div');
var page_content = document.getElementById("page");
page_content.appendChild(divToInsert);
divToInsert.setAttribute('id', 'layer');

hmm - something tells me IE won’t like adjusting the ID of an element once it’s on the page. Maybe try to use “class” instead of “id” if you have more problems.
