I have an AJAX application that downloads a JSON object and uses the data to add rows to an HTML <table> using Javascript DOM functions. It works perfectly... except in Internet Explorer. IE doesn't give any sort of error, and I've verified as best as I can that the code is being executed by the browser, but it simply has no effect. I created this quick and dirty page to demonstrate the problem:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><title></title></head><body>
<table id="employeetable">
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Job</th>
</tr>
</table>
<script type="text/javascript">
function addEmployee(employeeName, employeeJob) {
var tableElement = document.getElementById("employeetable");
if (tableElement) {
var newRow = document.createElement("tr");
var nameCell = document.createElement("td");
var jobCell = document.createElement("td");
nameCell.appendChild(document.createTextNode(employeeName));
jobCell.appendChild(document.createTextNode(employeeJob));
newRow.appendChild(nameCell);
newRow.appendChild(jobCell);
tableElement.appendChild(newRow);
alert("code executed!");
}
}
setTimeout("addEmployee("Bob Smith", "CEO");", 1000);
setTimeout("addEmployee("John Franks", "Vice President");", 2000);
setTimeout("addEmployee("Jane Doe", "Director of Marketing");", 3000);
</script>
</body></html>
I haven't tried IE 8, but both IE 7 and IE 6 do not show the additional rows that are supposedly being added. I can't fathom why. Does anyone know a good workaround to this problem, or am I perhaps doing something wrong?
