$('td').bind("click", function(){}); doesn't work in internet explorer 7

[tallphil]

I'm trying to make a clickable table to save preferences using the bind("click" function with a table.

Link: ​http://www.tallphil.co.uk/feeds/

Snippet:

$('td').bind("click", function(){
	if($(this).css('background-color') == 'rgb(237, 252, 235)'){ 
		$(this).css('background-color','rgb(245, 207, 207)');
		selected[$(this).attr('id')] = false;
	}
});

The code works perfectly in firefox, but has no effect in internet explorer 7. I presume that it's a problem with using the onclick handler with a td element, any way to get around this?

Cheers

Phil

This is working for me with jQuery 1.1.3a/latest SVN

I had this same problems when I was trying to use the expand function, not when you click a row but when you click a cell. I ended up putting <a> within the cell to get it working in IE. Worked fine in firefox. Javascript as below:

<script type="text/javascript">  
        $(document).ready(function(){
            $("#report tr:odd").addClass("odd");
            $("#report tr:not(.odd)").hide();
            $("#report tr:first-child").show();

            $("#report tr.odd a").click(function(){
            //$("#report tr.odd td.comments").click(function(){
                $(this).closest("tr").next("tr").toggle();
                $(this).find(".arrow").toggleClass("up");
            });
            //$("#report").jExpand();
        });
    </script>

Hope this helps.
