Setting "z-index: auto" in IE6 gives a type mismatch error

Html:

<a href="#">click me</a>

Javascript:

$('a').click(
  function () {
   $(this).css({'z-index':'auto'});
   }
);

Onclick the javascript will try to give z-index: auto but in IE6 i receive a type mismatch error (debugger sends me to line 1120 - jquery 1.2.6)

Setting a number instead of "auto" value will work proper and no errors in IE6.

shouldn't it be

$('a').click(
  function () {
   $(this).css({z-index:'auto'});
   }
);

without the quotes on z-index?

oh no, because of the - you need the '. please ignore my post.

Setting CSS values that IE does not understand no longer throws errors.

Fixed since 1.4.3 -> #5509
