asp.net mvc - jQuery .submit() woes with IE8 -

I am trying to submit a link link through an http post for an asp.net mvc controller . Although my code works for Chrome, but it does not work in IE8 Any indicator would be very useful.

Setup:

• Browser: IE8
• jQuery: 1.4.1
• MVC: 2.0

Delete link is: -

  & lt; A title = "Delete contact" href = "/ contacts / delete /  

Do not want to add the form to the body before submitting it? It is not certain how it works in chrome, but try to do something like this -

  $ ('& lt ; Form / & gt; ', {action: "...", method: ... ", style:" ... ",}) .appendTo (" body "). Submit ();
