jQuery 1.3.2 insertBefore not working in IE8

I have a list with multiple rows, and every list has an add and edit button that brings up a form using;


$('#addOrEditForm').insertBefore("#"+rowId);

Any ideas why this works in any other browser but IE8? we are using jQuery 1.3.2.

Thank you.

ANY UPDATES ON THIS

This is is just an oversimplification of the code that replicates the problem that I'm having with insertBefore using IE8 ONLY. just copy and paste all this code into a test file, then modify the

 <script type="text/javascript" src="/Library/jQuery/jquery.min.js">    </script>

to use your jquery 1.3.2 library. and it should work!

Thank you.

$(document).ready(function() {

    $('#linkListLinkOutput').click(function(event) {
       if ($(event.target).parents('tr').attr('id')) {
           var link = $(event.target).parents('tr').attr('id').split('_');
       }

       if ($(event.target).hasClass('nav_new')) {
          removeAddAndEditLinkForms();
          showAddLinkForm($(event.target).parents('tr').attr('id'), link[2], link[3]);
          return false;
        }
      return false;
     });



  function removeAddAndEditLinkForms() {
    removeAddLinkForm();
  }

  function removeAddLinkForm() {
        $('#addLinkListLink')
          .hide()
          .appendTo('#linkListLinks');
    }

    function showAddLinkForm(link, parentId, position) {
      $('#addLinkListLink form input[name="parentId"]').attr('value', parentId);
      $('#addLinkListLink form input[name="position"]').attr('value', position);
      $('#addLinkListLink')
        .insertBefore( "#" + link )
        .fadeIn();
      console.log('Link List name: ' + $('#addLinkListLink').attr('id'));
