[jQuery] Small program works in FF but not in IE7
I'm building a HTML fragment using jQuery API but I can't get it
content using the html() method: it works fine with FF, but returns
null on IE7.
As a side effect, the replaceWith() method does not work either on
IE7: the replaced element just disappear from the DOM tree.
Any idea ?
