why In Windows8 JavaScript append function is not allowed directly?

Question

I have a Cordova based Application. Which works perfectly on IOS and android platform. When I am building the Same Application for windows8.It crashes on append function.

   $("#mainDiv").append(LoginTemplate);

I want to maintain the same code base for all platform . Is there any way we can allow the same on windows8 without adding this function everywhere?

 MSApp.execUnsafeLocalFunction(function() {

  $("#mainDiv").append(LoginTemplate);

});

Is there any way we can put this in config file? So that append function will allowed for windows8. The reason why I want to use this beacause I don't want to maintain a different code base for windows8 just for this.

("#mainDiv") should be $("#mainDiv"). Is this only here or also in the actual script? — Andreas

Microsoft has released a shim that should solve your problem: https://github.com/MSOpenTech/winstore-jscompat

It basically wraps all the "unsafe" operations in a MSApp.execUnsafeLocalfunction for you automatically.

I'm afraid I have no idea. What popover are you using?

$('[rel=itemspopover]').popover({ html:true, placement:'top', content:function(){ return $($(this).data('contentwrapper')).html(); } });
