Appending, setting attributes, text to an XML DOM Object
in Using jQuery

I am having an issue appending, setting attributes, text on the root node. Below is a sample of the code that performs this task (nLevel, nID, and sText are variables passed in by the containing function. XMLDOM is an XML DOMDocument object:
var oAna = $(oData).find('ana');
if(!$(oAna).length){
// Create new 'ana' element
oAna = $(XMLDOM.createElement('ana'));
$(oData).append(oAna);
}
if(!$(oAna).length){
// Create new 'ana' element
oAna = $(XMLDOM.createElement('ana'));
$(oData).append(oAna);
}
// Set attributes and text
$(oAna).attr({'level':nLevel, 'id':nID});
$(oAna).text(sText);
$(oAna).attr({'level':nLevel, 'id':nID});
$(oAna).text(sText);
oData is an existing DOM element root node (<head>). The object already contains the follow XML:
<head mode="0" name="Demographics" title="Demographics">
<dems>
<dem level="1" id="1">Functional Area</dem>
</dems>
</head>
<dems>
<dem level="1" id="1">Functional Area</dem>
</dems>
</head>
The purpose of the code is to determine if element <ana> exists. If not, create this element and append it to the root node. Then set attributes and text on this node. The final XML should look at follows:
<head mode="0" name="Demographics" title="Demographics">
<dems>
<dem level="1" id="1">Functional Area</dem>
</dems>
<dems>
<dem level="1" id="1">Functional Area</dem>
</dems>
<ana level="0" id="0">Analysis Area</ana>
</head>
</head>
This is a properly constructed XML document which I have validated.
This code works perfectly with IE, however with FF I can create and append <ana>, however I am unable to set attributes and text on <ana>. A similar set of code is used to create the initial XML document shown first.
Where am I messing up?
