It seems that for whatever reason, our foswiki_tiny_src that duplicates the foswiki object implemented in JQueryPlugin is failing on IE6 browsers under some circumstances (NatSkin at least; too much <head> noise?).

It's high time we deleted that code and used the JQueryPlugin conventions.

ArthurClemens reported on IRC that IE6 has got a hard limit of around 25 lines starting from the top of the html page to read meta tags. Is there any reference about this to read up?

-- MichaelDaum - 20 Apr 2010

If that was the case, then the JQueryPlugin foswiki object wouldn't be populated, would it?

Or perhaps jQuery itself has a work-around for this limit.

Not lines, but <style> and <script> tags.

I confirm that this patched version fixes the problem with ie6. At least for our version. Thanks to PaulHarvey

Closing, although the code checked in against this task is no longer relevant since the JQueryPlugin changes for 1.1
