Answer 1

A:

The only wisdom I can offer is not to use the ul li construction in your markup. The same thing could be done with divs, and you wouldn't have all the horrible CSS baggage IE6 brings to those.

Hi Robusto, Yes thanks for the suggestion. I did it with ul's on the pretence of semantics....even though i'm not even sure whether an un-ordered list is more semantic in this case ;)

Ah! Thankyou Elf King! Your comment about jquery and IE6 led me to a google search which turned up another stack overflow post:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/463800/jquery-document-ready-failing-in-ie6

It seems moving my script to the bottom of the page and removing the document.ready fixed it!!

Many thanks and apologies I should have googled this more thoroughly :)

For me this did not work well in IE7 either! However, I was able to make it work properly by setting the id's of the list items in the markup. Element ID's shouldn't be the kind of things change often, so perhaps this can be done, rather that set it in the onload function... Is there some reason you were doing it that way?

<body>          
 <ul id="accordion">     
  <li id="handle1">
    <a href="#">df1</a>
    <div>content1
    </div>
  </li>     
  <li id="handle2">
    <a href="#">df2</a>
    <div>content2
    </div>
  </li>       
  <li id="handle3">
    <a href="#">df3</a>
    <div>content3
    </div>
  </li>        
  <li id="handle4">
    <a href="#">df4</a>
    <div>content4
    </div>
  </li>         
  <li id="handle5">
    <a href="#">df5</a>
    <div>content5
    </div>
  </li>               
  <li id="handle6">
    <a href="#">df6</a>
    <div>content6
    </div>
  </li>        
</ul>

Hi, I didn't get a chance to test ie7 but I imagine it's the same problem as ie6 was having. Thanks for letting me know! I'm dynamically assigning those id's so it's nice and easy to use in the future. I usually put things like this in plugins so it can be re-used by other developers in my workplace who aren't very adept at js.
