[jQuery] BlockUI - IE does not interpret JS script

[boomroker]

Hi guys, been using Jquery a bit for my dashboard website at my work
just to add eye candy and such...
This is the first time I have run into an IE bug...

What happens is that once a table get loaded with my code it shows the
correct colours in Firefox on both windows and linux but does not
interpret the JS in the file that I load when I open it with IE.

Here is the code.

Thank you for any and all help

====THE JS SNIPPET====

$('#cserver').click(function() {
            $.blockUI.defaults.pageMessage = "<h1>Please wait...</
h1>";
            $.extend($.blockUI.defaults.overlayCSS, { backgroundColor:
'#fff' });
            $.extend($.blockUI.defaults.pageMessageCSS, { color:
'#000', backgroundColor: '#fff' });
            $.blockUI();
            setTimeout($.unblockUI, 2000);

          $("#contentArea").load("rpc.php?o="+7+"");

======THE PHP FILE (rpc.php)======

<?php
        $cOption = $_GET['o'];
        $videowall_source = "";

        switch($cOption) {
                case 1:
                $videowall_url = "stats.html";
                $fp = fopen($videowall_url, "r") or die("The Information 
couldn't be
displayed!");
                while(! feof($fp))
  {
     $videowall_source = $videowall_source . fgets($fp, 1024);
  } print $videowall_source;

                        break;

======Stats.html=======

<script type="text/javascript">
$("tr").contains("RUNNING").addClass("green");
                        $("tr").contains("DOWN").addClass("red");
                        $("tr").contains("INITIALIZED").addClass("yellow");
                        $("tr:nth-child(odd)").addClass("odd");

</script>
