appendTo does not work in IE8 on an empty popup

[TiTi]

Hello, It seems I'm unable to append elements in IE8 (works on FF & Chrome & Opera) on an empty popup opened with window.open().

Demo:  http://jsfiddle.net/kxbur/

Note: Do NOT close the popup before closing the alert()

Error is "no such interface support": fragment.appendChild( ret[i] );

Bug documentation and solution here:

 http://tamentis.com/doc/no_such_interface/

Seems jQuery isn't part - for now - of the group mentionned : "Most JS framework already have a solution to this issue" :p

The link I previously mentionned is correct: "The solution to this issue is to create all the elements AND EVENTS using the new window and not the original one". Their example is not as clear as it could be however...

.appendTo() works great if you pass a DOM element created with the new window. But fail if created from original window (html string or created with $() just before).

Enhanced demo & workaround:  http://jsfiddle.net/yfWzR/1/

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the jQuery project by writing a bug report and providing a test case!
