Problem with IE9 - fails on createElement

[bernd123]

Hi,

jquery.media does not work with Internet Explorer 9

error: SCRIPT5022: DOM Exception: INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR (5)
on line 414:
var o = document.createElement(a.join(''));

IE9 handles createElement different than IE8 does does

any ideas?

I had the same problem. Here is what I did:

I am using jQuery Media Plugin version 0.97. I copied the js file to a local file on my server. In my local file I made the following changes:

replace:
var o = document.createElement(a.join(''));

with:
//IE9
if($.browser.version =='9.0'){
var o = document.createElement("div");
o.innerHTML = a.join('');
$.fn.media.defaults.autoplay = 0;
}
//IE8
if($.browser.version =='8.0'){
var o = document.createElement(a.join(''));
$.fn.media.defaults.autoplay = 1;
}

Hope that helps someone!
