Description

Error: Could not convert JavaScript argument arg 0 [nsIDOMHTMLDivElement.appendChild] = NS_ERROR_XPC_BAD_CONVERT_JS
Source file: (jquery-1.1b.js)
Line: 158

Using code:

$(document).ready( function(){
$("#test").html("");
alert('this will not show');
});

test is just a div, but this error is displayed in the Firefox console. It still seems to actually work by setting it to "", but no code after the .html("") will work.

This is 1.1b on Firefox 1.5 on Windows XP

Replying to [comment:3 john]: I can reproduce this just FYI.

The work around I used was:

$('#id').html(someObj.stringProperty);/ /Original: doesn't work for some reason

$('#id')[0].innerHTML = someObj.stringProperty;/ /Work-Around: works ok

Though this is a jquery/NS error, it is rare and not worth fixing. Especially when the work around is so simple.

Note if you had multiple dom elements you could use the jquery each function and then innerHTML.

example:

$('.someClass').each(function(i, el){

el.innerHTML = someObj.stringProperty;

});
