IE Cannot Append Embed Element to Object Element

[MrFish]

 var object = document.createElement("object");object.setAttribute("width", 519);object.setAttribute("height", 292);object.setAttribute("id", "video"); var mparam = document.createElement("param");mparam.setAttribute("name", "movie");mparam.setAttribute("value", flashUrl); var fsparam = document.createElement("param");fsparam.setAttribute("name", "allowFullScreen");fsparam.setAttribute("value", "true"); var asaparam = document.createElement("param");asaparam.setAttribute("name", "allowscriptaccess");asaparam.setAttribute("value", "always"); var embed = document.createElement("embed");embed.setAttribute("src", flashUrl);embed.setAttribute("type", "application/x-shockwave-flash");embed.setAttribute("width", "519");embed.setAttribute("height", "292");embed.setAttribute("allowscriptaccess", "always");embed.setAttribute("allowsfullscreen", "true"); object.appendChild(mparam);object.appendChild(fsparam);object.appendChild(asaparam);*** object.appendChild(embed); $("#video").remove();$("#video_main")[0].appendChild(object);

This code works in all browsers except for IE8 and lower. It's stopping at the line I marked with three asterisks ( object.appendChild(embed) ). It gives me this error without any other explanation-

SCRIPT87: Invalid argument.

I don't know why it can't append embed elements. I also tried object.innerHTML += embed.outerHTML but that had an undescrive runtime error. http://www.price-homes.com/Home

I seem to remember having problems with old versions using element tag names as variable names.

Since you only require embed for non IE browsers and IE browsers greater than IE8 use

if('\v' != 'v'){object.appendChild(embed);}

only IE9 and other better browsers will pass the if condition and insert embed
