After further testing, your solution does solve the problem in Firefox and Opera but not in IE. So the test at http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/~ntzfr/test/ajax/jquery/xml/jquery_xml1.html works fine in Firefox 3 and Opera online and locally with the "click here" link expanding, but fails locally in IE7 and of course there are no error messages. The following files are in the same directory: jquery_xml1.html jquery.js labels.xml This isn't the first time by far that IE has knackered my JS code (and CSS for that matter), and indeed IE routinely adds 50% or more to my webdev time, but I was hoping that jQuery functions always work cross- browser. I'm aiming towards something like http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/~ntzfr/test/ajax/jquery/xml/jquery_xml2.html where links read from a XML file are displayed in an iframe. Any ideas why IE isn't behaving? If I can't get it to behave locally then this project's off :( Cheers Fred
