jQuery IE7 problem (using jQuery Cycle plugin)
<p>I can't get jQuery working at all with IE7. I'm using the jQuery Cycle plugin, but I believe this problem is with jQuery (and the fact that I'm am a newbie). I'm trying to use an banner rotator, which works on Firefox, Safari and IE8. On IE7, it is not even activating... it just shows each div one after another.</p>

<p>Thank you in advance!</p>

<p>Example

<p>JS</p>

<pre><code>$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#myslides')
    .before('&lt;div id="nav"&gt;')
    .cycle({
        fx: 'fade', // choose your transition type
        speedIn:  600, 
        speedOut: 600,
        timeout: 8000,
        pause: 0, // so that pauses when user hovers over a slide
        pager:  '#nav', // instructs the plugin to create navigation elements
    }); // every child element of the container becomes a slide     

    /*ddsmoothmenu.init({
        mainmenuid: "smoothmenu1", //menu DIV id
        orientation: 'h', //Horizontal or vertical menu: Set to "h" or "v"
        classname: 'ddsmoothmenu', //class added to menu's outer DIV
        //customtheme: ["#1c5a80", "#18374a"],
        contentsource: "markup" //"markup" or ["container_id", "path_to_menu_file"]
    });*/
});
