IE 11 ignores appendChild () for dynamically generated html pages

I am trying to create a pseudo-report that shows me errors when importing data. For this, I have two functions:

                let createHtmlErrorReport = (err) => {

                    let currentDate = new Date().toLocaleString();
                    let contents = '<!DOCTYPE html> ' +
                        '<html>' +
                        '<head>' +
                        '<title>Import Inventory Import</title>' +
                        '<meta charset="utf-8" />' +
                        '<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en">' +
                        '<style type="text/css">' +
                        ' html { margin:0;  }' +
                        ' body { background-color:#d6d6d6; font: 10pt sans-serif;}' +
                         'ul li{ padding: 3px; font:12pt;}'+
                        ' #header {padding:10px; background-color:#007fcc; color:#ffffff; } ' +
                        '</style>' +
                        '</head>' +
                        '<body>' +
                        '<div id="header">'+
                        '<strong>Import Inventory Import</strong>' +
                        '</div>' +
                        '<p><strong>Imported ' + currentDate + ' by ' + err.username + ' | ' + err.unprocessedItemsCount + ' items not imported | ' + err.processedItemsCount + ' items imported | '+ err.errorMessages.length + ' errors.</strong></p>'+
                        '<p>The following errors occured during import: </p>'+
                        '<div id="errorList" style="padding:5px;"></div>'+
                        '</body>' +
                        '</html>';
                    return contents;

                }

In the above example, I create a new document, add some basic style and create a div container where I want the error list to be inserted.

<div id="errorList" style="padding:5px;"></div>

The following function calls this method and builds a list of errors

            let generateImportErrorReport = (errors) => {
                        let doc = createHtmlErrorReport(errors);
                        let errorReportWindow = window.open('', '_blank');
                        errorReportWindow.document.write(doc);
                        let list = document.createElement('ul');
                        //builds a list of errors 
                        for (let i = 0; i < errors.errorMessages.length; i++) {
                            let item = document.createElement('li');
                            let message = errorReportWindow.document.createTextNode(errors.errorMessages[i]);           
                            item.appendChild(message);
                            list.appendChild(item);;
                        }  
}

A list is nothing more than an array of strings:

errors.errorMessages = [
{'Message 1'},
{'Message 2'}
]

This code works fine in Chrome and Firefox, however a new document is created in IE, but this list is never added to the selected item. I can see the created element, but it will not be added to the newly created document.

Internally IE dev tools capture a common message Error: No such interface supported

IE 11, Mirko Cianfarani: , . errorReportWindow.document. .

var generateImportErrorReport = function(errors) {
  let doc = createHtmlErrorReport(errors);
  let errorReportWindow = window.open('', '_blank');
  let errorDoc = errorReportWindow.document; // Get the error report document object
  errorDoc.write(doc);
  let list = errorDoc.createElement('ul'); // Create with errorDoc
  // Builds a list of errors
  for (let i = 0; i < errors.errorMessages.length; i++) {
    let item = errorDoc.createElement('li'); // Create with errorDoc
    let message = errorDoc.createTextNode(errors.errorMessages[i]); // Create with errorDoc
    item.appendChild(message);
    list.appendChild(item);;
  }
  var errorList = errorDoc.getElementById('errorList');
  errorList.appendChild(list);
  errorDoc.close(); // Close the document
}
