Unable to set 'data' attribute for 'Object' tag in jQuery. [IE8 only]
html, internet-explorer, internet-explorer-8, javascript, jquery
Solution
Works for me: using the IE8 developer tools, I can see the data attribute. Here's a screenshot.
(I know I shouldn't have to say it, but: you need to make sure that you're allowing scripts to run.)
Problem
I am creating an object element dynamically in jQuery, to render some content. It works in all browsers except IE8. The code: ``` j$(document).ready(function(){ j$('.objContainer').html(j$('<object>').attr( {'data':'http://www.stackoverflow.com', 'type':'text/html'})); }); ``` The HTML structure created after the execution(in IE8): ``` <object type="text/html"></object> ``` In other browsers[IE9, Firefox, Chrome]: ``` <object data="http://www.stackoverflow.com" type="text/html"></object> ``` Any solutions?
