appendChild giving error in IE8

jainankit0312

Hi All,

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this question.

I am using data table to show data on my page. The page works perfectly fine in 'Mozilla' and 'Chrome' but when I am using 'IE-8/9' the page throws error 'unexpected call to method or property access'.

I debugged it a little and I found that the cause behind this error is the call to 'appendChild'.

Can you please tell me how can I resolve this issue or point me to a useful link.

Which part of DataTables is throwing that error - I've come come across that issue?

Hi Allan,

I am not sure. I have not used appendChild in any of my own JS files.
Then I checked the dataTable.js , it is calling appendChild multiple times. So I can not point you to a specific part.

How you resolved your issue ?

Hi,

I was trying to wrap() the filter generated inside the table so that it comes at a desired position.
wrap() internally calls wrapAll() which internally calls appendChild() and hence it was throwing error.
I removed it by using append() intead of wrap().

Thanks,
