I encountering some strange inconsistencies between Firefox and IE in regards
to the .html() method. In Firefox everything's working fine - but in IE,
the previous html gets returned. An example would explain the problem best:
I have html like this:
<div id="editTogle"></div>
<div id="viewToggle"><span id="aboutYou">text to change here</span> | #
edit </div>
I use the outer div to hide everything in it, and the inner span to change
only the text within it. So, my script looks like this:
//hide view div and show edit div
$("#viewToggle").css({display:"none"}); //using css for safari
$("#editToggle").css({display:""});
//I use ajax to get a new string here
//then, I replace the span with the next string
$("#aboutYou").empty().html(newString);
//doing an alert here shows that the text change successfully
alert($("#aboutYou").html()); //good!
//show the view div and hide the edit div
$("#viewToggle").css({display:""});
$("#editToggle").empty().css({display:"none"});
//doing an alert here shows that the text was changed back to the previous
text
alert($("#aboutYou").html()); //bad!
Again, this is working fine in Firefox, but not in IE - so I can't help but
thinking I'm missing something simple. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Chad
