I am creating a style element and I need to put some CSS into it. The below code works in Chrome, Safari and FF, but fails in IE8:
var styleElement = document.createElement("style");
styleElement.type = "text/css";
styleElement.innerHTML = "body{background:red}";
document.head.appendChild(styleElement);
In IE8, the code fails when it comes to the innerHTML part. I've tried doing:
var inner = document.createTextNode("body{background:red}");
styleElement.appendChild(inner);
But this also fails with "Unexpected call to method or property access." I'm looking for a workaround or fix.
