A bit more troubleshooting has unlocked part of the mystery. The code
I am inserting is a full <li>, and I am adding it into an UL. So my
fragment looks like this:
<li><p>A comment, just made by the person using the form</p><p
class="author">—Person's Name</p></li>
If I try to insert that using Safari, I get nothing -- no error --
just nothing.
If I encode it in HTML entities, then it inserts, but of course
displays as code -- not what I want.
If I encode it in HTML entities, then insert it with $
('reflist').insert({top:mycode.unescapeHTML()}), then it ALMOST works
-- everything is fine except for the class="author" part, which
Safari's Web Inspector shows as being coded as class=""author"" (and
of course does not honor).
Through it all, Firefox is a good soldier, and does what I want.
It seems as though the whole problem is with escaping characters
while passing the string to insert, but I'm completely baffled how to
get this to work. Should I try JSON encoding the parameter? Or maybe
build up the inserted LI from DOM objects?
Thanks in advance,
Walter
