Span inside div? problems in ie8?

I have span tag inside div tag.

var a = jQuery("<span class = 'B'>");

For some reason i am not able to see the contents of var a on i开发者_JAVA百科e., but I can see the contenet on mozilla.

You have no div there.

Try this one

var a = jQuery("<span />", {class:'B'}).appendTo('#yourDiv');
