While working on some project, trying to create a checkbox and radio button dynamically using jQuery I came across a problem. Mozilla Firefox, Opera and Safari were creating and rendering my new checkboxes just fine, but Internet Explorer (IE6, IE7) did not create them. I spend half a day trying to figure out what is wrong with my jQuery or JavaScript code. Some hours later, I remember, I came across a post saying that IE can not create a general DOM input form element and then assign it a type (checkbox, radio, text, password, etc) attribute.
What you need to do when you are creating a new checkbox or radio button set with jQuery is to define the type attribute while creating like so:
$('<input type="checkbox" />');
// Create and then set any other attributes
$('<input type="checkbox" />').attr('id', 'newBox');
Problem:
Can not create a new input form fields using jQuery or newly created checkboxes and radio buttons are not displayed/created.
Solution:
To solve the problem you need to create an input field with type attribute already defined.
