Internet Explorer bug with assigning CSS classes

Today I was fixing a problem on a site in which some background images weren’t showing up on certain elements in Internet Explorer but they were showing up under Firefox and Chrome. The page is quite a complex one which does a lot of client-side building of DOM elements so I started digging around in there, finding the section which was creating the element. The code was very simple, all it did was create a <span /> tag, assign some CSS classes to it and eventually add it to the DOM.
