FYI: It was the validate/validation plugin that was breaking my example. When i commented out the include everything worked as expected. I needed to upgraded to the newer version of the validation plugin and everything is back to normal!
Too many version dependencies, bah! It's too bad there isn't svn setup (that i know of) which tags all plugins with jQuery core so the versions could be resolved a bit easier. -phil On Nov 17, 9:17 am, phil <pkra...@gmail.com> wrote: > Yes thats true. > > I just tested the exact code I have on jsbin and it worked > fine.http://jsbin.com/uhane source:http://jsbin.com/uhane/edit > I wonder if there is a difference in the included JQuery library on > jsbin and what jQuery currently has on their web site. > > I will try to replace my local copy of jQuery and see if that resolves > this issue. > > thanks. > > On Nov 17, 4:53 am, "Richard D.
