hi, I have collected some common reasons which causes JS to crash in IE7. http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-en/browse_thread/thread/f1eab9b59e923fca/40b64f80117f62f2#40b64f80117f62f2
Generally, I try to make sure my JS is working fine in FF and once everything is working fine, I test in FF and check for any mistake (reported in my blog). I would say 95% of the time, these are the five mistake that make my JS to break in IE Regards, bingo On Dec 21, 1:25 pm, Shawn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > When I run into these "works in FF but not IE" issues, I plop my code > into jslint (http://www.jslint.com/).
