I got a type mismatch error in IE7

[anonymous]

I encountered it in the compressed version. I've used the uncompressed version to find the line number.

LN 2526:

return (ret.value = value + "");

Can you provide a simple test case that creates the error, preferably at jsfiddle.net? Knowing the line number doesn't tell us what caused the problem.

Attributes should be strings. Why are you setting an attribute to NaN?

I'm not the OP, but replied with the jsfiddle because I stumbled upon this ticket. I was experiencing the same "Type mismatch" error in IE7.

In my case, we are using the selectBox plugin ( https://github.com/claviska/jquery-selectBox). The init function does parseInt(select.attr('tabindex')) which can be undefined and returns NaN.

Please take this up with the plugin author to resolve the issue. jQuery does not support setting attributes to NaN.

Just add a tabindex to the select elements then error will disappear.

Just wanted to say, thanks for citing selectBox as the problem, this helped me fix identical issue.

Thanks very much! It helped me to solve this problem.
