I am chaining a .click function to the .button jquery UI widget. I get the action I want just fine but the in IE8 the button does not return to the ready state after I click. It works fine in FF.

  $('#myButton').button   ()
         .click(function () {
          $('#total').text('here it is');
         })      
         ;


<div id="myButton">locate text</div>
<div id="total">where is it?</div>

Any help would be much appreciated!
