jQuery Forum

I have a question about programming style.
Which code is better and why?

1. $("#testdiv").empty().append("<div>Test 123</div>");

OR

1. $("#testdiv").html("<div>Test 123</div>");

Hallo,

there is a problem with internet explorer 7, 8 and 9.
I tested it successfuly with Firefox (version 1.5 - 10), Iron, Opera and Internet Explorer 10.

1. function AjaxApiPost(filepath, divId, parameters)
2. {
3.     $.ajax({
4.         type:"POST",
5.         url:filepath,
6.         data:parameters,
7.         success:
8.             function(result){
9.                 document.getElementById(divId).innerHTML=result;
10.             },
11.         dataType: "html"
12.     });
13. };

I debugged this code with IE9 and it return an error on line 9.
I replaced line 9 with the following:

1.        $("#"+divid).val(result);

This works also with all browsers except IE9!
Can someone say me how to use jQuery's AJAX that works with IE 8 and 9?
