I have recently started programming in a more jquery centric style, to make sure that all the javascript on our sites are AWESOME!
I was testing our latest control cross browser and found that IE 8 and lower didn't like my plugin. Digging into developer tools (f12) the following line was throwing an error.
thumbnailImage: $("![]()
<img />", { class: "imgThumb", alt: "thumbnail", src: "/images/hba/noImage.gif" }),
I could see in developer tools that it had written the word "class" in blue in IE Developer tools, meaning it is reserved as a function, not allowed in my jQuery string.
This is easily fixed...
thumbnailImage: $("<img />", { "class": "imgThumb", alt: "thumbnail", src: "/images/hba/noImage.gif" }),
Removes the error. NICE!
