appendchild cdata javascript
I note that one line of your code reads
		<![CDATA[)&quot;
Using an entity reference within a CDATA section looks wrong.

If you're playing this kind of game you need to look at the HTML that your
stylesheet is generating before you throw it at the browser. Debugging it
directly in IE is going to be really hard work.
