Jquery split() returns array with indexes in FF and Chrome but only one index in IE

jQuery text() call preserves newlines in Firefox but not in IE

I got some issues with this code in IE:

var frameFromValues = $('#getData').contents().find("body table tbody tr#c_"+ currencyFrom).text().split('\n');
console.log(frameFromValues);

Console in Chrome shows:

["", "          KRA", "          Fenix", "          1", "          1", "      "]

Console in IE 9 shows:

KRAFenix11

And because of that, when I try to get a value by its index like this:

cFrom = frameFromValues[5];

It says "Undefined" in IE, but it works perfectly fine in Chrome.

How do I make it work in IE?

I've already added: String.prototype.trim = function() {return $.trim(this)} Gonna try the double quote. Edit: No luck with double quotes. I'll see if freakish link will help me clear it out. — estrar, Oct 31 '12 at 09:09
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/656605/jquery-text-call-preserves-newlines-in-firefox-but-not-in-ie It's not about `split` ( which works correctly, try it in IE console ), it's about `text()` function. Basically IE skips `\n` and thus `split` returns one element array. — freakish, Oct 31 '12 at 09:09
@freakish I tried to wrap the data within
but that did not solve the problem. — estrar, Oct 31 '12 at 09:46
@estrar Did you also try setting CSS rule `#div { white-space: pre }`? What version of IE we are talking about? — freakish, Oct 31 '12 at 10:05
@freakish Sorry, I forgot to include the pre in the selector. Seems to work now! You could post it as an answer if you want the credit I suppose. — estrar, Oct 31 '12 at 10:33
@estrar Cheers! I'm glad it is working. The solution is not mine, so I won't take any credit for it. :) — freakish, Oct 31 '12 at 10:53

Try removing the trim(); function

Instead of trim use:

cFrom = frameFromValues[5].replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, '');

frameFromValues[5] is undefined in IE, so it wouldn't really matter? – estrar Oct 31 '12 at 09:37
I see, instead of the text(), try innerhtml() – VicoMan Oct 31 '12 at 10:16
