title: Problem with jQuery append in ie7
body: <p>Hi guys I am having a very strange problem in ie with the append function. Basicly i retrieve data from an ajax call in xml. Parse the xml into variables then using the each function append to a specific div. Works fine in firefox had to do a work around to get the file to parse in ie. Please note 'ALL WORKS' fine my variables etc. all have values etc.</p>
  
  <p>However when I use the append function some of the text randomly appears outside its containing div see picture below: </p>

  <p>As you can see some of the text overflows the container or almost seems to reflect ?
  Any way below is a snippet of the code where i make the append: I should also add I am opening this div in a dialog box created with jquery ui - which sets the containing div to display: block - so i am wondering if this is having any effect. </p>
  
  <pre><code>$(xml).find("entry").each(function()
  {
  
  var $item = $(this);
  var title = $item.find("title").text();
  var linkN = $item.find("link").attr("href");
  var output = "&lt;a href=\"" + linkN + "\" target=\"_self\"&gt;" + title + "&lt;\/a&gt;" + "&lt;br /&gt;";
  $("#notifyBox").append($(output));
  $('#notifyBox').show();
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Really hope you guys can help this is the strangest problem I have ever encountered. </p>
