If you name a class anythingCheckBoxElement it will cause wonkiness in IE. Very frustrating. Took me almost 6 weeks to figure this out.

The behaviour I experienced was that a div wouldn’t move properly when other divs around it were moved. Changing the class name of a child table row to filterCheckBoxElement2 resolved the problem. It would seem that CheckBoxElement is a reserved word and may not appear at the start or end of any names. Weird.

Naturally, the vastly superior Firefox has no such limitation! :)

Nice. It includes a bunch of updates, included a much needed update to the slider plugin which I’ve been using here on SmartHippo.com. I’ll need to refactor some of my code, but it should be worth it as it will resolve a few issues with the current search output.
See the release announcement and grab the code.
