Picture this: its the night before website lauch and all around is quiet except me frantically tearing my (now greying) hair out trying to figure out why a jQuery slide down menu doesn’t work in IE8 when it worked in *every* other browser known to man.

After a long hour of trying to figure it out it turns out it was beacuse I has left an empty callback function within my slideToggle function. Who’d have guessed it?

So for future reference: IE8 doesn’t like

$j('#socialnav div.loginBox').slideToggle('fast', function() {});

But it does like

$j(‘#socialnav div.loginBox’).slideToggle(‘fast’);
