[jQuery] Re: Animate bug under IE6?
I just tried switching to transitional, with no effect, sadly (still under 1.1.3.1). On Jul 20, 8:30 pm, "Dan G.

Switzer, II wrote: Collin, Hey all -- I'm new to the list (but not so new to jQuery), and was hoping I could get some assistance regarding what appears to be a bug in the .animate function when running under IE6. Inside a .click function assigned to a specific anchor tag, I call .animate using jQuery 1.1.3.1. It works in Firefox and Safari, but IE6 reports a runtime error. When I switch to jQuery 1.1.2, it works (mostly). The first animate sequence doesn't slide, but merely re-draws when the final frame is done, but all subsequent animations work fine. Perhaps this is due to my standalone IE6 (from evolt), as I've seen it have other weird problems with JS, too. I'm running IE7 installed, unfortunately. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I've posted a demo of the issue at the following location (sans a few images): http://www.command-tab.com/jquery/animate_bug/ What happens if you change the doctype from "strict" to transitional? My experience with using a strict XHTML declaration almost always causes me trouble in IE6. -Dan It does not necessarily have some to do with Strict or Transitional if IE runs in Quirks Mode or in Standards Mode, especially if the Doctype is XHTML. It depends on how the Doctype declaration looks like (does it have a system identifier or not?) More information: http://hsivonen.iki.fi/doctype/ By the way, in the demo an HTML Doctype is used but tags are closed as in XHTML: ^ --Klaus
