jQuery Validation plugin, IE7 “SCRIPT3: Member not found”

Question

I have the following:

Answer 1

What I found causing the problem is line 35 of jquery.validate.js

this.attr('novalidate', 'novalidate');

Comment out this line and problem is sovled. You could also wrap it with a ( current browser <= ie7) to explictly avoid this line only when ie7 is the broswer.

Update To comment out line only for ie7 you can use the following code:

var ie = (function () {
        var undef,
    v = 3,
    div = document.createElement('div'),
    all = div.getElementsByTagName('i');
        while (
    div.innerHTML = '',
    all[0]
);
        return v > 4 ? v : undef;
    } ());

and then:

    if (!ie || ie > 7) {
      this.attr('novalidate', 'novalidate');
    }
