If there was ever a time to hate IE, this is it. This code begins with a box with content. When the button is clicked, the box is supposed to drop down and fade-in.
<html>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
function Test()
{
var item_height = $('#test').height();
$('#test').height(0);
$('#test').css('opacity','0');
$('#test').animate({ height: item_height, opacity: '1' },400);
}
</script>
<body>
<!-- The div below holds the sample content -->
<div id="test" style='border: 1px solid black;'>
Content<br>
Content<br>
Content<br>
Content<br>
Content
</div>
<!-- The button to test the animation -->
<br><br>
<div style='position: absolute; top: 150px; left: 10px;'>
<button onclick='Test();'>Test</button>
</div>
</body>
</html>
This very simple example works on Chrome, Safari, and Opera. But Internet Explorer? No.
How can I (if it's even possible) fix this so that it works in IE?
