I'm having a similar problem in IE. However, my code looks like this (using your syntax for creating the XML document):
var hiNode = $("hi", xml); hiNode.text("foo"); When I run this in Firefox, the hi node in the XML document gets a text node with a value of "foo" appended to it. However, I get a type mismatch error in IE. I can use the .text() function to retrieve text nodes from XML documents - can I also use it to set text nodes? Any help is appreciated!
