jQuery html attribute not working in IE

Question

I am using country and state dropdowns in my form. Whenever the user selects the country in the dropdown, the respective states of the country will populate in the states dr

Answer 1

As the solution is not mentioned here: I just had the same problem in IE8 when activating compatibility mode. The solution was to pass in a jQuery object to the .html() function like this:

$("select#edit-state").html($(options));

This was not a problem if the options were a jQuery object and also built as one. But in the above example, this should do the trick - at least for me it did.
