[jQuery] jQuery IE PopUp Issue

[jQuery] jQuery IE PopUp Issue


Hello all,
I'm running into a slight issue with my code in internet explorer.
I'm wondering if anyone else has gone through something similar like
this.
I have a calendar on my website with a list of events. Each event is
a link. When you click on the link I query the server and return some
XML data which I use to populate a jQuery UI Popup box. It looks and
works great in FF and Safari, but for some reason none of the dynamic
data is showing up in IE.
I checked the console in IE and it is returning the XML data, its just
not populating the popup div I setup.
Here is the popup div i'am using:
<div id="eventPopUp" title=""></div>
And here is the jQuery function I wrote to populate the data.
$('.eventInfo').click(function(){
        var eventID = $(this).attr('class');
        eventID = eventID.match(/\d+/);
        //Get the eventdetails
        var myEvent = new Object();
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: "../index.php/calendar/get_event_details/",
            data: 'eventID='+eventID,
            success: function(xml){
                $(xml).each(function(){
                    myEvent.eventID                = $(this).find('eventID').text();
                    myEvent.eventname             = $(this).find('eventname').text();
                    myEvent.eventstarttime         = $(this).find('eventstarttime').text();
                    myEvent.eventendtime         = $(this).find('eventendtime').text();
                    myEvent.guestsestimate        = $(this).find('guestsestimate').text();
                    myEvent.status             = $(this).find('status').text();
                    myEvent.firstname             = $(this).find('firstname').text();
                    myEvent.lastname             = $(this).find('lastname').text();
                    myEvent.contactID             = $(this).find('contactID').text();
                    myEvent.locations            = $(this).find('locations').text();
                });
                var eventDetails = "<div id='event_times'>" +myEvent.eventstarttime
+ " - " +myEvent.eventendtime+ "</div><div
id='event_status'><b>Current Status:</b> " +myEvent.status+ "</
div><div id='contactname'><b>Contact:</b> <a href='<?= base_url(); ?
