1.32, 1.7 and 1.8 all show Internet Explorer 8 Error

[[email protected]…]

jQuery 1.32, 1.7 and 1.8 all show Internet Explorer 8 Error on the first line of the jquery.js file: ILLEGAL CHARACTER. AND: This seems to prevent some programs from running: The following program runs with jQuery 1.26 ONLY IN INTERNET EXPLORER. I runs with all versions of jQuery in Firefox:

SEE: ​http://mynichecomputing.org/RotBan/rotBanxx.html This runs only with 1.26, though everything has been done to make sure NO INCOMPATIBILITIES between 1.26 and older version OCCUR IN THE ON-PAGE CODE!!

I disagree. There are no css errors. Let me better edit my complaint and bug report:

Firefox ignores your css error. I only looked at your page for 2 seconds, but I would suspect that IE8 could take more issue with your css error.

I found the CSS errors, you were correct.

I never checked the css; it came from a book example I elaborated on. It is interesting that CSS errors come up in IE8 as JS errors and I never thought to look at the CSS, since the program did run with jQuery 1.26 IN IE8 with no problem (and, again, the errors indicated were JS errors).
