css property background lets jquery hang in ie&

[twan_van_der_poel]

When a css background property is set with a list like;

$(elem).css({ 'background': 'red' })

and it's a textual value, jQuery hangs if the value isnt a valid background name (on ie7).

I noticed it when debugging to;

$(jquery_prefix+'#'+rowId+' > div:first').css({

'background': 'puprle', 'width': '22px', 'height': '28px', 'margin-top': '-8px', 'background-repeat': 'repeat'

})

Notice the purple isnt spelled correctly, IE7 raises a error message;

Line: 1061, invalid argument.

Which comes down to;

if ( set )

elem[ name ] = value;

You've passed in an invalid argument. What should jQuery do? If it masks the error it will be harder to find.
