Hi John/Michael,
FOUND THE PROBLEM.
And John, I'm sure you'll be glad to know it's not a bug in jQuery.
I compress (remove white space and pointless concatinations) and re-
pack my scripts into one file with jQuery and all the plugins I use.
This error happened when I compressed and re-packed the
'packed' (compressed) version of jQuery - ie.: compressed it twice.
In the process,
document.write("<scr" + "ipt id=__ie_init defer=true src=//:><\/
script>");
Became...
document.write("<undefined id=__ie_init defer=true src=//:><\/
script>");
I just played around with my JS compressor and I've got it working
now.
Hope this helps anyone who has the same problem.
