Description
function testbug() {
test_field = $("#test_field");
}
<input type="text" value="1" id="test_field"><a href="javascript:void(0)" onClick="javascript:testbug();">Click me</a>
That function returns an error in IE 7. But works in FF, Safari, Chrome.
Row : test_field = $("#test_field"); returns an error;
Row : var test_field = $("#test_field"); works fine.
Is it a bug?

IE puts names and ids into the global namespace. jQuery can't really work around that. So, do not give any elements a name or id that is the same as a variable in your Javascript code.
try this:
function testbug() {
var test_field = $("#test_field");
}
<input type="text" value="1" id="test_field"><a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="testbug()">Click me</a>
