Jquery 1.6.2 Crashes IE8 Tabs

Viewed 6252

Hello fellow developers,

I am a little stumped on this one as I have been using JQuery 1.6.2 with no issues until three days ago. (There was a service pack update at some point around this time)

Anyway the issue is as follows:

I am coding in HTML5 and have been for some time now, no problems there, but three days ago I began to update some of the older websites. This particular website (and some others) required an update to the JQuery version so I decided to call on the hosted 1.6.2 version from Google.

As soon as I did this my website's began to crash my IE8 tabs. On the website I am working on, my cycle plugin no longer works and for some strange reason my UL list now goes white when I hover over the links!

I started pulling out my hair and thought maybe IE8 was have compatibility issues with HTML5, so I went back and changed all the coding, getting rid of HTML5 elements and then even going back to xhtml doctype. It still continued.

I then went through the plugin code, trying to find others who had experienced the same problems. Nothing wrong there.

Eventually I took out the Jquery and the site went back to normal and didn't crash the tabs!

I have since replaced the 1.6.2 version with an older version I have laying around 1.4.3 and that seems to work fine!?

Is anyone else having issues with 1.6.2 and IE8 - Like always in every other browser I can get my hands on the site performs perfectly with whatever version of JQuery I call upon.

Thanks in advance.

Kind Regards

Richard
