I am using jQuery v1.6.4. Here is a test case for my problem:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container"></div>
<div id="clone-tpl">I am a clone template</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
var clone = $('#clone-tpl').clone();
clone.attr('id','other'+Math.random());
clone.text('I am a clone');
$('#container').append(clone);
alert($('#container').html());
alert($('#clone-tpl').attr('id'));
var clone2 = $('#clone-tpl').clone();
clone2.attr('id','other'+Math.random());
clone2.text('I am a clone 2');
$('#container').append(clone2);
alert($('#container').html());
alert($('#clone-tpl').attr('id'));
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
In Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer 9, it works as expected: it clones clone-tpl two times, changes its identifier, and adds clones to the div container. The container container remains intact. The alert log is as follows:
<div id="other0.7574357943876624">I am a clone</div>
clone-tpl
<div id="other0.7574357943876624">I am a clone</div><div id="other0.1724491511655708">I am a clone 2</div>
clone-tpl
But in Internet Explorer 7, he messed up everything with clone2, look what warns:
<DIV id=other0.1851332940530379>I am a clone</DIV>
clone-tpl
<DIV id=other0.1851332940530379>I am a clone</DIV><DIV id=clone-tpl>I am a clone 2</DIV>
other0.6041996510541515
I have no idea how alert($('#clone-tpl').attr('id'))can suddenly give something else than clone-tpl? In the end, if I select an element with the id attribute clone-tpl, the id attribute MUST be a clone-tpl, but it is not!
What's wrong? Why does IE7 change the identifier of the clone source if I create a second clone?
, jQuery v1.4.2, IE7 .
