Just to finish this one off, I discovered my problem in IE6 was
nothing to do with the jquery search operation we were discussing.
As I was working on the code I had added an object initialisation

Excellent! Glad to see you figured that one out. Rest assured that
*every* web developer has pulled out hair related to that particular
