Exception in IE when accessing XML attribute

[john]

Occurs with the following XML file: http://www.xqus.com/phpsysinfo/xml.php

and the following code:

  version = $("Generation", xml).attr("version"); 
  $("#version").append(version);

Ok, so the issue was that there was an element in the page that had the same ID as the version variable - but version was never defined, so an exception was being thrown when it was being set. This is a case where something in the FAQ might help.
