jquery .append() case sensitive element

Question

Hi I need to create xml from data in form to send it to webservice. The problem is that .append() is case insensitive, so .append(\'\')

Answer 1

jQuery.parseXML will always create a new DOMParse and a new Document, so it is pretty heavy.

A better approach would be to use the (unintuitive) parseHTML, using the context paramter:

// Create the context XML document; doc and $doc is reusable
var doc = (new DOMParser()).parseFromString( '', 'text/xml' ); 
var $doc = $( doc.documentElement )

// Create case-sensitive XML element;
// this will call doc.createElement( 'EDO' ), as of jQuery 2.1.3
$doc.append( $.parseHTML( '', doc ) );
