jquery-rails broken in IE6

[wakiki]

I initially opened this issue at jquery-rails but was asked to open it here instead:

rails/jquery-rails#66 (comment)

Since 2.0.3 (16 August 2012) and upwards, anything with :remote => true (eg. link with :remote => true) has stopped working on IE6. Unfortunately we still have a lot of users on IE6 which I cannot get rid of!

Downgrading back to jquery-rails 2.0.2 works fine.

I'm using rails 3.2.6 at present.

Is anyone else having this problem?

Hmm, interesting. Do you have any required radio or checkboxes in your form by any chance?

[wakiki]

Not that I know of - but in any case even things like

link_to ... :remote => true

doesn't work (a GET action), not just submit

[khustochka]

And what’a with required radios? - because that is exactly what is failing for me. Is this a known bug? Sorry I failed to find, though a couple of latest issues look like that.

[khustochka]

Ok, I see. SimpleForm adds required for every radio input.

[wakiki]

Ah yes we also use Formtastic and we set required to default for our various forms - not quite sure I understand why that is related though as even GET links don't work. Perhaps I'm missing something?

[JangoSteve]

Awesome, I know exactly where the problem is then, and I'm working on it.

[JangoSteve]

If this is due to the required radio input issue, then it should be fixed now, try the latest jquery-ujs (or just update to jquery-rails 2.1.2).

[khustochka]

@JangoSteve Sorry, seems you have not pushed it.

[JangoSteve]

Try now.

[khustochka]

Works for me now. Many thanks for your work.

Unfortunately I'm still having the same problem. It seems to be that on any =link_to or forms where :remote => true, nothing is fired off in IE6. Works perfectly fine in IE7 and chrome etc. No js errors. Very odd. Any other ideas or anything else I can do to isolate the problem further?

[JangoSteve]

I'm honestly not sure, no one else has reported this issue. Could you try the sample app and see if it behaves the same way?

We get same issue yet.

I make pull request that fix this issue.
