I tried it too, and jquery is not consistent in handling the href/src attribute in IE. I don't know why it is giving the absolute url when <a>/<img> tags are loaded via ajax.
@MorningZ , the topic you have linked to, suggests that using $ (this).attr("href") will always give the actual text in href attribute and not the absolute url, but that is only partially true, if the link/ image is loaded via ajax call, then in IE it gives the absolute url. The same is true for "src" attribute too. I hope the jquery team finds a way to fix this. Spaceage In the meantime how about using something like this, I know this is not as concise as your version, but it will work independat of the browser. arrOldImage = $(this).attr("src").split("/"); arrOldImage[arrOldImage.length-1] = arrOldImage [arrOldImage.length-1].split(".").join("-hover."); newImage = arrOldImage.join("/"); $(this).attr("src",newImage); ksun On Jan 29, 9:26 am, MorningZ <morni...@gmail.com> wrote: > I wouldn't call it "strange", as IE automatically appends the full > domain name on any link > > anyways, this topic from earlier in the week deals with this exact > issue > > http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-en/browse_thread/thread/7d53af6... > > On Jan 28, 10:49 pm, spaceage <spaceageliv...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > > I have a hover script that implements image rollovers that goes like > > this: > > > $(document).ready(function() { > > $("img.rollover").hover(function() { > > $(this).attr("src", $(this).attr("src").split(".").join("- > > hover.")); > > }, function() { > > $(this).attr("src", $(this).attr("src").split("-hover.").join > > (".")); > > }); > > > }); > > > This works great in all browsers--I just use a class="rollover" on the > > <img> and name the rollover image with a "-hover" before the > > extension. > > > Oddly, in IE6/7, when I jQuery "load" a <div> with new <img> elements > > and reapply the hover function to the new <img> elements, IE gets > > screwed up on the "src" setting.
