So watch out if you rely on js libraries that do something like this:
$("body").append("<section>something</section>");
$("section").text("new something"); // this line will throw an error in IE.
Hope that makes sense.
Ah, I understand, interesting. I've done some example cases:
Base case for reference, loads html5shiv to render static content (works
in IE8):
http://www.boogdesign.com/examples/html5shiv-static.html
Load html5shiv, create element with jQuery then change with jQuery
(fails in IE8):
http://www.boogdesign.com/examples/html5shiv-jquery.html
Load html5shiv, use DOM methods to create element, change with jQuery
(works in IE8):
http://www.boogdesign.com/examples/html5shiv-dom-jquery.html
Load html5shiv, use innerHTML to create element, change with jQuery
(works in IE8):
http://www.boogdesign.com/examples/html5shiv-inner-jquery.html
So it looks like this is the broken part:
$("body").append("<section>something</section>");
If you create the element with other methods, the next line works fine.
