jQuery Thickbox not working in IE6 and above
I came across a problem with Thickbox today. It just wasn’t working properly in IE. Basically I had ajaxed content loading up inside a Thickbox. When the link was clicked, the Thickbox loaded but no content was displayed. All was fine in trusty old Firefox, so what was IE’s problem?
After about an hour of searching through the code and the documentation on the Thickbook site, I was well and truly stumped. On closer inspection to the changelog docs, it clearly states that it has been updated to work with jQuery 1.1.3.1. I was using the most recent version of jQuery 1.2.3!! and assuming that Thickbox would work. I downloaded the appropriate version of jQuery and hey presto!! it worked.
Moral of the story is – don’t ever assume anything – and read the docs!! THOROUGHLY!

Excellent read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little research on that. And he actually bought me lunch because I found it for him smile So let me rephrase that: Thanks for lunch!

Hello would you mind letting me know which hosting company you’re working with? I’ve loaded your blog in 3 different internet browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot quicker then most. Can you suggest a good web hosting provider at a fair price? Thank you, I appreciate it!
