Changing value not compatible with new jQuery

[dalelarsen22@…]

I know this question pertains to a UI plugin but I believe the problem rests in the core, because this stopped working when updating to jQuery 1.4.3.

Changing the value of a slider no longer works in IE. It works in 1.4.2 but not 1.4.3. I use jQuery UI 1.8.6.

$sliderBar5.slider(‘value’, parseInt($borderArea.attr(‘cornerSize’)));

This is all IE8 gives me for an error: (I'm testing with the dev build of jquery 1.4.3)

Invalid argument. jquery-latest.js?d=976093623, line 6489 character 13

This ticket is likely to be closed as a non jQuery-core issue, but before we do that, could you please supply us with a reduced test case that reproduces the behavior you are seeing?. Without knowing what you're doing in this particular page we are unable to investigate further.
Also, please re-try using jQuery 1.4.4 RC2 which can be found here ​http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.4rc2.js

I'm sorry I really don't have time to build a test-case (as I'm sure you don't really either), but I have nothing more than the most simple of setups. I have just a regular jquery ui slider widget. Then whenever I try to make a change to the slider's value in IE I get the error and nothing happens. It doesn't call the change event associated with the slider. In fact the whole page breaks. If I make a call to change the value of the slider when first loading the page everything after I make that call does not run. The js breaks completely.

Also, testing with jquery 1.4.4 RC2 did not fix the issue. The bug is present in both 1.4.3 and 1.4.4 RC2, but not in 1.4.2

This issue is invalid/cannot be reproduced.

I was able to quickly create this test case for you: ​http://jsfiddle.net/rwaldron/7rrX4/3/

Tested in IE 6,7,8 FF 3,3.6,4, Opera 10.6, Chrome 6,7,8,9, Safari 5
