jQuery “Object doesn't support this property or method” in Internet Explorer

Question

I am using jQuery to add some dynamic content to a website.

I am attempting to create a new DOM element on-demand using the following code:

container         


        

Answer 1

I don't know if it can help but I fixed my problem. Basically IE doesn't want to assign jquery object to an undefined variable.

So what I did is declare this a local variable instead.

Before:

function foo() {
  bar = $('#bar');
}

After:

function foo() {
  var bar = $('#bar');
}
