Thanks for the workaround.
As I wrote on the ticket I opened (
#8607) this has worked on and off with different jQuery versions:
- Works in jQuery 1.2, 1.3.2, 1.4.2, 1.4.3, 1.4.4
- Doesn't work in jQuery 1.4, 1.4.1, 1.5, 1.5.1
I think this should be covered in a unit test (I don't know if it already is, but my guess would be that it's not).
