JavaScript

I have the following function (worked in IE6 but is broken in IE8)

function implode() { var str = '';
    for(item in globvars)  //<- IE8 wets itself here ...
       str+= '\n' + globvars[item]+';';
    return str+'\n';
}

It seems an innocuous little function, but IE8 dosent grok it. Can anyone show me how to rewrite this so it work in IE8 (as well as the other browsers)?

JQuery UI sortable is slow in IE8, but works good in IE7 and IE8 compatible mode

JQuery UI sortable (including demos) are slow in all IE8 I can test, but runs smoothly in IE7 and IE8 compatible mode. The more complex is a markup on the page, the more IE8 is slowing down (that's I can understand, the DOM tree became more complex). I'm using JQuery 1.3.2 and JQuery UI 1.7.2 (tested… >>> More
