JQuery issue (major) with IE - all versions

Question

This only happens with IE (all versions), on line 1120 in jquery-1.2.6.js I get the following error:

Line 1120:
Invalid Property Value

The line in the js file is the following:

elem[name] = value;

It is inside attr: function( elem, name, value )

Does anybody have a problem similar to this?

Answer 1

If this is also you, it sounds like you're trying to change the CSS of the element rather than give it an attribute.

If that is the case then try this instead;

jQuery.css('color', 'inherit');

Answer 2

This error can also occur if you call jQuery.css with an invalid attribute value, such as:

$('div.foo').css('padding-left', 'NaNpx');

Answer 3

The problem is IE-only because you are probably trying to set something like "min-height" which exists in (a proper CSS implenting) browser like Firefox, but not in a (demon spawned fiend of a) browser like Internet Explorer. I ran in to the same issue using jQuery's own dialog UI function.

I was a huge proponent of jQuery before this, but this has really put some egg on its face.
