[jQuery] IE7 seems to ignore my plugin

[jQuery] IE7 seems to ignore my plugin


Hello, group. I'm the author of a very small plugin that replaces
text with server-generated pictures in the font of your choice. You
can find it at http://plugins.jquery.com/project/pir. The actual code
(like I said, real tiny, so it isn't a burden to look at) can be
gotten directly from http://www.xanthir.com/pir/jquery.pir.js.
The plugin works flawlessly in all decent browsers, including IE8
beta2. However, IE7 seems to completely ignore the plugin! I can't
figure out exactly what's up, but any attempt I make to access a
function or object in the plugin throws a "that doesn't exist" error.
For example, if I try to set $.pir.options, it says that this doesn't
exist. If I try to call the plugin with $("#foo").pir(), it says that
the method isn't supported on that object.
I'm using jQuery 1.3.2. Any help?
