Description
SCRIPT438: Object doesn't support property or method 'getElementsByTagName' 
jquery-1.5.js, line 5460 character 4

That's what happens when you try to use jQuery 1.5 with the plugin Fancybox in IE9 RC.

Note that jQuery 1.4.4 does not exhibit this problem.

I created two jsFiddle pages. They are exactly the same and consist of JUST the pasted Fancybox extension (1.3.4) and jQuery (1.5 or 1.4.4), and then a line that indicates success at the end. They both work in most browsers. But in IE9 RC, the jQuery 1.5 version causes an error.

Here are the pages:

http://ajh.us/fancy-1.5
