The Twistys with buttons didn't work at all.

Don't you just love IE8!

IRC also reports IE6 and IE7 to be the same.

I logged out of the system whilst on the TwistyPlugin topic and logged back in again and got a different error on page loading:

Also broken there for IE8. If the error is clicked through some simple twistys work then don't.

I receive a different error, but I'm using NatSkin:

FFx and Safari seem to work OK, so this is an IE thing.

Confirmed

We need a new version of TwistyPlugin fast. Or is it JQueryPlugin that is broken in reality?

-- KennethLavrsen - 27 Oct 2010

Tried to revert to the version before Olivier and I fixed the ID/remember problem.

But it was also broken then so that was not the thing that broke it.

While hunting this down I found tml.js not being IE6+7 comppatible: the typical Expected string, identifier or number steming from malformed json in the recipe.

-- MichaelDaum - 27 Oct 2010

I copied in all the changed files for this fix and now I receive the following when trying to close a Twisty. I also had to set my skin back to Pattern because it seems like it isn't fixed with NatSkin.
