Jquery append method issue on the IE browser

var nestedtablesettings = {
    "iDisplayLength": 20,
    "bLengthChange": false,
    "bFilter": true,
    "bSort": true,
    "bInfo": false,
    "drawCallback" : function() {
        var appendDownloadLink = $("table table td .dataTables_filter");
        appendDownloadLink.each(function(i, e) {
            var label = $('label', e);
            $(e).html('<a class="export-circuits" href >Export circuits</a>').append(label);

            $(".export-circuits").on("click", function(e){
                circuit = $(this).closest('tr').prev('tr').children('td').eq(1).text();
                hpath = "exportCircuits?organisationID="+getbusinessID+"&interfaceName="+circuit;
                $(this).attr("href", hpath);
            });
        });
    }
};

I am trying to add an export link on the nested datatable. When I try to see my result on Chrome and Firefox, it is working perfectly.

The result on chrome and Firefox

<div id="nested-datatable-covertab_0_row_0_tab_0_row_0_tab_0_filter" class="dataTables_filter"><a class="export-circuits" href="">Export circuits</a><label>Search:<input type="search" class="" placeholder="" aria-controls="nested-datatable-covertab_0_row_0_tab_0_row_0_tab_0"></label></div>

Open in new window

On the IE, it removed the data from label elements.

<div id="nested-datatable-covertab_0_row_0_tab_0_row_0_tab_0_filter" class="dataTables_filter"><a class="export-circuits" href="">Export circuits</a>
<label></label>
</div>

Open in new window

From my research, IE has got some issue with jquery append method.

Any helps would be highly appreciated.

Hi LeaKim,

That show the search box on the IE, but it removes the functionality of the search.
With this implementation search does not work on any browsers now.

Do you have any ideas ?

what about :

var nestedtablesettings = {
    "iDisplayLength": 20,
    "bLengthChange": false,
    "bFilter": true,
    "bSort": true,
    "bInfo": false,
    "drawCallback" : function() {
        $("table table td .dataTables_filter").prepend('<a class="export-circuits" href >Export circuits</a>');
        $(".export-circuits").on("click", function(e){
            circuit = $(this).closest('tr').prev('tr').children('td').eq(1).text();
            hpath = "exportCircuits?organisationID="+getbusinessID+"&interfaceName="+circuit;
            $(this).attr("href", hpath);
        });
    }
};

Thanks for your help again. This solution is creating my previous issue again. When you append element like this, if you you click any links on the last level table, it duplicated the links because of datatable plugins.

<div id="nested-datatable-covertab_0_row_0_tab_0_row_0_tab_0_filter" class="dataTables_filter"><a class="export-circuits" href="">Export circuits</a><a class="export-circuits" href="">Export circuits</a><a class="export-circuits" href="">Export circuits</a><a class="export-circuits" href="">Export circuits</a><label>Search:<input type="search" class="" placeholder="" aria-controls="nested-datatable-covertab_0_row_0_tab_0_row_0_tab_0"></label></div>

Open in new window

That's why we tried like the following;

var label = $('label', e);
$(e).html('<a class="export-circuits" href >Export circuits</a>').append(label);

Open in new window

But, this solution removes the search box from the label.

it duplicated the links because of datatable plugins.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Please see the link on the jsfiddle. When you click on the inner table header, it duplicates the links.
