Jquery 1.6.2 crashes IE8 when fading (fadeIn/fadeOut)

[begs40@…]

1. Fade

I use $('#something').fadeIn or fadeOut. With Jquery 1.6.2 and IE8, i reloaded the IE8 a few times. About every third time the IE crashed.

2. Colorbox/Fanybox

I also added a colorbox. When clicking a colorbox link and quickly clicking while the colorbox is loading to close the colorbox, the IE8 crashes again. Same with fancybox.

3. Fade without Colorbox

Even if i completely remove the colorbox and using only the fading element, the IE keeps crashing on reload

4,. Solution so far

I downloaded and included jQuery 1.5.2 which works fine

ticket is still valid. when i upgraded to 1.6.2. i also got the SysFader crash in internet explorer. jQuery 1.6.2 is not stable in IE8. the crash is replayable and often occurs with a refresh of the screen.
