Rails spinoffs - Feb 2008 - $('someElement').insert(new Element('img')) not working in IE6 / IE7

Hi,

I have this code:
_path.insert(getPathImage());


getPathImage looks like this:

ffunction getPathImage()
{
//      VERSION 1
//    return
String.format("&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<img
alt=''''
src=''{0}img/controls/path/pathcontrol-arrow.png'' /> 
",
getApplicationPath());
//
//      VERSION 2
//    return new Element(''img'', {
//        alt:'''',
//        src:String.format(''{0}img/controls/path/pathcontrol-
arrow.png'', getApplicationPath())
//    }).setStyle({paddingLeft:''15px'',
paddingRight:''2px''});
//
//      VERSION 3
//    return new
Element(''img'').writeAttribute(''src'',
getApplicationPath() +
''img/controls/path/pathcontrol-arrow.png'');
//
//      VERSION 4
    return new Element(''img'');
}

VERSION 1 --> 4 work fine in FF and opera. In IE6 and IE7, only
VERSION 1 works.
Did I bump into a bug in prototype? I''m using version 1.6.0.2. It
looks that somehow IE fails in inserting an img object created using
''new Element(...)''

Did anyone experience similar problems? Am I doing something wrong?

Kind regards,
Manu.

Although I have a working version, I would like to understand what''s
going on.

When I run the following code in IE, opera or FF, the alert box shows
me: "<img>".
    img = new Element(''img'');
    img = img.wrap(''div'');
    alert(img.innerHTML);

Could it be that IE somehow has problems with the fact that it''s not
"<img />"?

When I look in the source code, IE doesn''t render any "img"
tag. FF
and Opera do.

It''s hard to imagine nobody else had this issue. I will try to google
it a little longer.

I would still appreciate some help though... kangax? :)

Manu.
