Why does my jQuery animation require an extra click in IE8 to finish?
- by Eric Reynolds
I am pretty new to jQuery in general, however the following code works perfectly in Chrome and Firefox, but not in IE8. In IE8, I have to click anywhere on the page to start the animation after selecting a radio button. Here is the code:
$("input[name=method]").change(function() {
if($("input:radio[name=method]:checked").val() == 'installer') {
$('#download').slideUp(0).removeClass("vendorSize").text("Download").addClass("installerSize").slideDown(500);
}
else if($("input:radio[name=method]:checked").val() == 'url') {
$('#download').slideUp(0).removeClass("installerSize").text("Download From Vendor Website").addClass("vendorSize").slideDown(500);
}
});
Anyone know why this breaks in IE8 but not in the other browsers? If you feel this would work better using .animate (not that I think it should matter), can you provide an example of how to code it?
Thanks,
Eric R
