By (x, y) you mean (row, column) right, not pixel measurements? That's
what the code seemed to attempt.
Without a live example, I'm going to be simply guessing, but, hey,
that's never bothered me before! :-)
function handleClick(e)
{
var t;
if (e && ((t = e.target) || (t = e.srcElement)))
{
alert(e.target.cellIndex + ', ' + e.target.parentNode.rowIndex);
}
}
I'm guessing that the target in IE is not the TD you are on. Perhaps
it's a text node inside your TD.
You might add something like this (untested):
if (!$(t).is("td")) {
t = $(t).parents("td")[0];
}
That should, I believe, give you the first TD containing the cell you
are interested in.
