I have recently made a control for static content on an asp.net web page using the tab control and accordion contol to minimize the amount of space consumed. I initially struggled to get it to work at all, but after browsing the Jquery forum I found the solution in that I needed to initialize the tab control after initializing the accordions. This however caused the tabs to break in IE (tested in version 8). I have solved the issue by putting the a try catch block into the offending function. This allows IE to ignore the error and continue, after which it renders the entire control perfectly. The error occurs in jquery-1.4.2.min.js

Line: 104

Char: 68

Code: 0

The original function looked as follows:

function(a){this.nodeType===1&&this.insertBefore(a,this.firstChild)}

My version looks as follows:

function(a){try{this.nodeType===1&&this.insertBefore(a,this.firstChild)}catch(ex){}})}.

I realise this is a quick fix, but thought you should know it exsits, in case any further issues like this occur.
