Warning
Message
This web application contains unsupported characters in the createElement() method (File: [FILE_NAME], Argument: [ARGUMENT]).
Background
The createElement method creates an element node in the Document Object Model (DOM) hierarchy. The Standards mode in Internet Explorer 11 and later does not support the use of angle brackets (< >) within the createElement method. If the argument of the createElement method contains those characters, portions of the web application may fail to work.
Resolution
The web application should be re-engineered to no longer use angle brackets in the createElement method. The element name should be passed and the setAttribute method should be used to set the values of the required attributes.
