Multiple problems with IE 8 and Jquery 1.4.2

Multiple problems with IE 8 and Jquery 1.4.2

Hey all, I'm getting some weird bugs in IE 8. First of all, I should mention that *everything* works as advertised in Chrome, Firefox and Safari. I'm encountering these problems ONLY when using Internet Explorer.

When I run the following JS code to initialize the page-

  1. $(document).ready(function ()
  2. {
  3.  init($(document.body));
  4. });




I get the following error message from IE-
"Object doesn't support this property or method"

The second problem I'm having with IE is that there's some sort of infinite loop going on in Jquery, causing IE to lock up and crash. I'm not sure what line in jquery is causing this loop, since IE's development tools locks up before it can give me any output.

In either case, changing the compatibility mode via the <meta> tag doesn't fix anything. I'll post some more specific stuff, as well as some screenshots, later today when I get some more time.
