I have an issue in IE6/7 where they ignore the live binding of elements. I can't seem to find any solutions to this issue, and I really need both IE6 and 7 support (fixing one should fix the other anyway). The first click of my elements works as intended but afterwords the binding goes away and I can't get it to work.

Here's my code. As you can see, on line 5 I am alerting the hrefID variable. After the first click hrefID clearly shows me that the binding disappears as it prints an href that's totally different.

Can anyone help?

Code: [ Select ]
// AJAX Page Changing
    $("#mContainer a:lt(6),#home a").live("click", function(){
        var clickID = 0;
        var hrefID = $(this).attr("href");
        alert(hrefID);
        switch(hrefID){
            case 'home':
                clickID = 0;
                break;
            case 'portfolio':
                clickID = 1;
                break;
            case 'resume':
                clickID = 2;
                break;
            case 'about':
                clickID = 3;
                break;
            case 'contact':
                clickID = 4;
                break;
            case 'tutorials':
                clickID = 5;
                break;
        }
        $.ajax({
         type: 'POST',
         url: "/includes/pages/"+hrefID+".php",
         data: "ajaxtab=1",
         cache: false,
         success: function(code){
             // Change Tab Image
             var expireDate = new Date(new Date().getTime()+86400000*5); //5 Days
             document.cookie = "soluml="+hrefID+";expires="+expireDate.toGMTString();
             $("#body").fadeTo("fast", 0, function(){$("#body").html(code);});
             $("#body").fadeTo("fast", 1);
             $.post("/includes/topnav.php",{ajaxtab:clickID},function(data){$("#mContainer").html(data)});
         },
         error: function(){
             return true;
         }
        });
        return false;
    });

If you need to see the site live or in context you can do so at the url: http://www.soluml.com. It's not done yet but I'm working on it :(

Did you get this worked out? Appears the alert's gone from your script, so it's a little hard to tell what's going on.
I'd love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code.

No I took the alert out as I was working on it. There is a missing semicolon on line 37 (fixed and now on line 38), but that wasn't the issue. I also updated it a little bit (added line 3 to ignore right clicking on the links). Let me re-post the code and re-add the alert. Also, let me know if you need any other alerts added! Someone needs to come out with a Firebug for IE6 :lol:

If you could help me nail this down it'd be great. I can handle IE CSS issues... but IE specific JS issues are so hard to figure out, especially when dealing with a complex framework like jQuery.

Code: [ Select ]
// AJAX Page Changing
    $("#mContainer a:lt(6),#home a").live("click", function(event){
        if(event.button != 0){return true;} // wasn't the left button - ignore
        var clickID = 0;
        var hrefID = $(this).attr("href");
        alert(hrefID);
        switch(hrefID){
            case 'home':
                clickID = 0;
                break;
            case 'portfolio':
                clickID = 1;
                break;
            case 'resume':
                clickID = 2;
                break;
            case 'about':
                clickID = 3;
                break;
            case 'contact':
                clickID = 4;
                break;
            case 'tutorials':
                clickID = 5;
                break;
        }
        $.ajax({
         type: 'POST',
         url: "/includes/pages/"+hrefID+".php",
         data: "ajaxtab=1",
         cache: false,
         success: function(code){
             // Change Tab Image
             var expireDate = new Date(new Date().getTime()+86400000*5); //5 Days
             document.cookie = "soluml="+hrefID+";expires="+expireDate.toGMTString();
             $("#body").fadeOut("fast", function(){$("#body").html(code);});
             $("#body").fadeIn("fast");
             $.post("/includes/topnav.php",{ajaxtab:clickID},function(data){$("#mContainer").html(data);});
         },
         error: function(){
             return true;
         }
        });
        return false;
    });

It's really weird.. the live event is still some what working otherwise IE6/7 wouldn't alert the second time I click. However, for some reason the href in the links change according to IE6/7 which is why I get the weird results.

Any help would be appreciated!
