I have made a super simple test case of a problem I'm having with IE6 and jQuery 1.3.2
In IE6 I only see the first alert box, it will render the page but it seems there is something in the js file that is causing IE6 to stop processing the scripts in the <head> content and thus not show the 2nd alert box. Chrome works as expected.
Needless to say this was a much more complicated problem, but I've managed to reduce it to this: IE6 seems to "fail" and stop processing javascript in the <head> area after loading the 1.3.2 javascript file.
Any Ideas?
