Error in IE6 and IE7

[iox]

I found out that with Rails 3 + Hobo 1.3 + the rails3 branch of this repository Hobo Jquery is not working with IE6 and IE7. With IE8 it works fine.

After some debugging I found out that the problem lies in hobo-jquery.js, from line 510 onwards. This lines are part of the combobox widget. As a workaround, commenting these lines makes the error disappear while datepicker still works.

Thanks for the report. Hobo 1.0 was the last Hobo release with
official support for IE6 and IE7 so I don't plan on investigating
further. If somebody does supply a patch, I will apply it, though.

But by posting to hobo-users you've published your workaround to
Google so hopefully anybody else that has to support IE6 and/or IE7
will find it.

Thanks Bryan, I understand you can't support this terrible browser forever :). I'm gonna close the issue and post the workaround to Hobo Users.

No, let's leave it open, it's more visible to users that way. I don't mind leaving an issue like this open indefinitely.

Just in case someone finds this problem: I think I found a better fix with this pull request:
