For some reason it’s giving a JS error when using jQuery Kwicks widget and the widget is inside the main container with the id I mentioned above.

If I change the name just by one character, any character, the JS error goes away and everything works fine.

Funny thing is that I have this id in all my pages working fine.

This happened to me in IE6, IE7 and IE8.

Solution:

The only way to solve this problem was to change word ‘container’ in the script to something else, I did ‘container2′.

This should not be the widget’s fault, it works perfectly in all other browsers by default. I had to change the script because I couldn’t change the id of the main container of all the pages of my site.

Thanks.

Man this gave me headaches. A list of these conflicts published by MS would be nice.

I just found another one:

“box”

Gave me a hard time in IE when I was doing some element offset calculations which were wrapped in a

After renaming it, everything was fine again.

<a name="tags"></a>

Since IE likes to confuse name & id, it’ll grab your named elements first. So any meta name could potentially get in the way, and seeing as there are a ton of meta tags out there, it really leaves things open for errors in IE. For example, photomatt.net’s metas include:

So now we’re starting to get a long list of potential buggy ids.

it seems “content” is a reserved word too !

I had a div with an id of “content”,
defining

#content{ height:100px; }

in the stylesheet does NOT work, whereas renaming the div’is to “contents” (mind the S)
and the stylesheet to

#contents{height:100px;}

DOES work !!
hmm talk about great programming
