RemoveAttr fails for 'rows' attribute in ie7

[[email protected]…]

the call: $('textarea').removeAttr('rows')

fails in internet explorer 7.

Can you provide a test case in jsFiddle, and a description of "fails" for example "Reboots my computer"?

this is a sample: ​http://jsfiddle.net/48sWb/1/

openning it in IE in IE7 mode fails the script completely and a message is written to the log: SCRIPT380: Invalid property value.

Because we get so many tickets, we often need to return them to the initial reporter for more information. If that person does not reply within 14 days, the ticket will automatically be closed, and that has happened in this case. If you still are interested in pursuing this issue, feel free to add a comment with the requested information and we will be happy to reopen the ticket if it is still valid. Thanks!

The reason why it closed is because you answered as "anonymous".

This is probably not something we can work around but I'll reopen. Can you clarify which version of "IE in IE7 mode" you used?

[[email protected]…]

I've used IE9 and IE10.

[dmethvin]

Unfortunately there are some strange differences between real IE7 and the compat modes in IE9 and IE10. I don't think we have a reasonable fix within jQuery, and I can't recommend that you run IE9 or IE10 in IE7 mode because it forces the browser to "forget" all the modern APIs.

If someone does discover a way to fix this, please post.

I guess it's not that big of a deal, it's a better practice to use css height property than rows... Roey
