JavaScript IE appendChild() - Unexpected call to method or property access

Question

I have been having this problem in IE. I have two divs which I use to drag selected elements from one to another. Lets say I have a child element (also a div) in div1 and so

Answer 1

just had the same problem with IE7, cured it by adding a timeout:

setTimeout(function(){gallery.appendChild(g_field)},300);

I've lost count of the no of times something doesn't work in IE but works perfectly in Firefox that can be solved by a short delay...no idea why!

Sorry! spoke to soon...turns out my timeout (in this case) didn't work.
