Description
Hi,
I'm having some problems with getting one of my site pages with IE8. It works fine in IE9, Safari (both PC & Mac) & Firefox (Mac). I'm using a .find(tag1).html(tag1) call sequence to do a title substitution, but I get the following error in IE8 when I debug it in the IE script debugger, and this in the .html(tag2) fct.:
Unexpected call to method or property access
The .find(tag1) fct. seems to return the enclosing object (i.e. "#sidebar"), rather than the nested object ("#sidebarheader"), and this causes problems when later making the .html(tag2) call.
I've created a representative test case as follows:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-W3CDTD XHTML 1.0 TransitionalEN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>JQuery .find() test case</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.6.4.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function UpdateHeader() {
$('#sidebar').find('header').html("New Title"); IE8, nesting div's in the find fct. will not discover the child div
}
</script>
</head> <body>
<div style="height: 400px; width: 390px">
<div id="jqm-home">
<div id="page">
<div id="sidebar">
<div id="sidebarheader">
<header>Old Title</header>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p onclick="UpdateHeader();">Click to update title</p> </div>
</div>
</body> </html>
Has anybody a suggestion on how to get this to work in IE8?
Thanks,
Filip

IE6/7/8 doesn't support HTML5, and you're using the header tag. You need a shiv/shim, which is beyond the scope of the bug tracker, so ask for help on the forum. http://forum.jquery.com
