Why does this not work..?

[Zane]

Can anyone tell me why this doesn't work in IE?  Other than the fact that it is IE

$("#wrapper tr").live('click', function() {
	var link = $(this).find("input").attr('value');
	alert(link);
	//window.open(link);

});

When I run this in FF, the alert says "NOLINK", like I have hardcoded into the input

When I use IE, of course, it fails to work... and the alert says "undefined"

When I take the attr() part away, then FF and IE work the same way.

I get an alert of object : Object in each browser

 

I have also tried the val() function, I get the same results.

Well, either way, the .val() method should always be used to get a value from an element.

So you are saying that $(this).find("input").val() does not work either?

If not, a couple of questions I have just for some additional info:

 

1. What version of IE are you using to test this?

 

2. What version of jquery?

 

3. Can you please post the snippet of code that this script is meant to grab the value from.

 

4. Would there by chance be any conflicting code?

 

5. Are there any errors present before reaching this script? IE is known to stop parsing script if there is an error present.
