[jQuery] Re: Works in IE7 but not IE6
That's what I have now: a simple jQuery action and as far as IE6 is concerned it is not there at all. At this point, the issue could be related to jQuery itself, or to the css for mainDiv. That's why I recommended something simple like an alert, so that you could determine if the issue is actually with the jQuery framework, or if it is related to IE6's quirky css model. Can I save each script file using UTF-8 encoding in Notepad? If not, how do I do it? Notepad does allow you to save files with UTF-8 encoding, BUT it prefixes the file contents with a Byte Order Mark (usually called 'BOM'), which causes a lot of problems, so I wouldn't recommend using notepad for this. Honestly, this may not be the issue at all -- that's why I suggest trying some other option to determine if jQuery is running in IE6 before you worry about the file's encoding.
[jQuery] Re: Works in IE7 but not IE6
Well, my jQuery tests didn't work and I thought they were very simple but I can try an alert test.
[jQuery] Re: Works in IE7 but not IE6
Okay, the following actually works:
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
alert(Thanks for visiting!);
});
but I haven't been able to get any other jQuery commands to work,
including ones that worked on other sites then got ported over to this
current project for test purposes. Going to keep experimenting.
[jQuery] Re: Works in IE7 but not IE6
instead of
jQuery(document).ready(
function(){
alert(Thanks for visiting!);
});
try doing this
$(function() {
alert(Thanks for visiting!);
});
make sure all your jquery is wrapped in that function.
example
$(function() {
alert(Thanks for visiting!);
$(#myid).click(function() {
// do code
});
});
all should be in the same function.
this would reduce the possibility of conflicts as well.

Sorry, but that's not true. If there are conflicts with other
libraries, then exposing the $ function is only going to make things
worse.
For safe encapsulation, try this:
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
// do your thing here.
});
Also, take a look at http://docs.jquery.com/Core/jQuery.noConflict

[jQuery] Re: Works in IE7 but not IE6
yeah in that case. I prefer only sticking to one library per site...

[jQuery] Re: Works in IE7 but not IE6
My suggestion was that you may want to make sure that your jQuery scripts and/or plug-ins are encoded as UTF-8. To do that, you would need to open and save each script file using UTF-8 encoding. File encoding may not be the issue at all. I've been unable to tell from your post if the problem is with jQuery itself or with a plug-in script. Have you verified if jQuery is running at all in IE6? For example, create a new page and insert a simple jQuery action that would let you know if it's running (such as an alert message).

So the jQuery code isn't working at all? Sorry your description is really vague and I am unsure what the question is without more specific details.

[jQuery] Re: Works in IE7 but not IE6
Basically I am trying to use jQuery to add classes to certain
elements. Works in IE7 and every other browser but not IE6. This an
example of a jQuery statement I have in place so far:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('BODY DIV').addClass('mainDiv');
});
The CSS has certain styles that apply to anything with the class
mainDiv and those styles show up in every browser except for IE6.
[jQuery] Re: Works in IE7 but not IE6
I'll agree with the others that it's hard to trouble shoot without some code. The only time I've had issues with IE6, it was due to inconsistencies in file encoding. We encode all of our pages and scripts as UTF-8, and the validation plug-in was ISO-8859-1. Once I encoded the plug-in source file in UTF-8, it solved our IE6 issues.
[jQuery] Re: Works in IE7 but not IE6
meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html; charset=utf-8 / That's the META tag I have in there now. Should I change it?
