jqModal / jquery and IE7 - invalid property value error

Question

I am getting a weird "invalid property value error" which only happens in IE7. This is my code:

 showTypes = function(id,projNum,flag) {
    formData = 'vw=blah&id='+id+'&projNum='+projNum+'&flag='+flag;

    $.ajax({
        type: "post",        
        url: "myURL.cfm",
        data: formData,        
        cache: false,       
        success: function(result) { 
            $('#jqmTitle').html('Details for : '+projNum);
            $('#jqmText').html(result);
            $('#jqmTypes').jqmShow();
        },
        error: function(xmlHttpRequest, status, err) {
            confirm('Error!' + err );
        }
    });
}

it breaks on $('#jqmText').html(result); any help?

UPDATE: it looks like IE7 does not like one of the following:

$('#blah-9').attr('disabled', true);
$('#blah-9').css('color','grey');

Answer 1

Did you try adding this to your ajax parameters?

dataType: "html"

Since I don't know what you are returning its hard to test.

Answer 2

wow. IE7 does not like grey, replaced it with #CCC and it worked .

Answer 3

You need to define the jqmShow() function. Modern browsers just ignore that line, but IE7 is trying like mad to run it and can't find it anywhere.
