Tech Note: Back to JQuery 1.2.6
We’ve had too many reports of problems with AOL browsers, Internet Explorer, Safari and Firefox versions earlier than 3, etc., so we’ve reached the reluctant conclusion that we must revert back to jQuery 1.2.6. We haven’t been able to duplicate most of the reported problems, but our development systems are pretty fast high-end machines with lots of RAM—which suggests that the problem may be a matter of “downward scaling” to less capable machines and browsers. The release notes for jQuery 1.3 say it has completely eliminated browser sniffing, and this could also be the source of lingering issues.
