Are you sure appending is what you want to do? Appending to an <input> does not really make sense to me. Maybe using the after() or before() would make more sense.
DIV before append: <div id="some_id"></div> DIV after append: <div id="some_id"><input type="hidden" name="name" value="some value" /></div> INPUT before append: <input name="name" id="some_id" type="text" size="35" /> INPUT after append: <input name="name" id="some_id" type="text" size="35"><input type="hidden" name="name" value="some value" /></input> On Apr 16, 9:33 pm, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I just noticed that I can append OK in IE6 to a <div></div> block, but > not to a form element.
