Hello All

I am trying to just test a simple javascript code.
Following Code is working very fine in FF-14, Google Chrome - 21, Safari - 3.2 But not in IE 8

JavaScript:
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="sha512.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function formhash(form, password) {
	
   // Create a new element input, this will be out hashed password field.
   var p = document.createElement("input");
   // Add the new element to our form.
   form.appendChild(p);
   p.name = "p";
   p.type = "hidden"
   p.value = hex_sha512(password.value);
   // Make sure the plaintext password doesn't get sent.
   password.value = "";
   // Finally submit the form.
   form.submit();

}
</script>
<?php
if(isset($_GET['error'])) { 
   echo 'Error Logging In!';
}
?>

</head>

<body><form action="process_login.php" method="post" name="login_form">
   Email: <input type="text" name="email" /><br />
   Password: <input type="password" name="password" id="password"/><br />
   <input type="button" value="Login" onclick="formhash(this.form, this.form.password);" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

What mistake I am doing...?
 
Its actually more an IE thing. IE doesn't like to change the type property of inputs once they've been appended to the document. The simple fix would be to just swap around the appendchild() call so it comes after the property settings.

Code:
p[COLOR=#990000].[/color]name [COLOR=#990000]=[/color] [COLOR=#FF0000]"p"[/color][COLOR=#990000];[/color]
   p[COLOR=#990000].[/color]type [COLOR=#990000]=[/color] [COLOR=#FF0000]"hidden"[/color]
   p[COLOR=#990000].[/color]value [COLOR=#990000]=[/color] [b][COLOR=#000000]hex_sha512[/color][/b][COLOR=#990000]([/color]password[COLOR=#990000].[/color]value[COLOR=#990000]);[/color]
   form[COLOR=#990000].[/color][b][COLOR=#000000]appendChild[/color][/b][COLOR=#990000]([/color]p[COLOR=#990000]);[/color]
