[jQuery] $("area") not selecting in IE
I am using an image map and some jquery to highlight (by applying a
border) an image outside of the image map. I am using the code below:
$("area").hover(function(){
var stateClass;
stateClass = $(this).attr("class");
var stateClassQuery;
alert(stateClass);//for testing
stateClassQuery = "#"+stateClass;
$(stateClassQuery).addClass('selected');
//mouse out
},
function(){
var stateClass;
stateClass = $(this).attr("class");
var stateClassQuery;
stateClassQuery = "#"+stateClass;
$(stateClassQuery).removeClass('selected');
}
);
It works in FF and Safire however, it will not work in IE. For some
reason IE dose not seem to be selecting any of the “area” elements.
