This is related to the “hasLayout bug” of IE. The relatively positioned #panel parent doesn’t have layout and hence IE forgets to redraw its children when it get resized/repositioned. The problem will go if you add overflow: hidden; to the relatively positioned #panel parent. #panel { position: relative; overflow: hidden; border: solid 1px black; } … Read more

If you add this to your meta tags: <meta http-equiv=”X-UA-Compatible” content=”IE=EmulateIE7″ /> IE8 will render the page like IE7.
It’s certainly not a bug in jQuery but instead browsers’ inconsistent implementations of .getAttribute(‘href’) – I suggest using just .get(0).href for consistency. Seems like you can access the attribute text in IE and Mozilla using .get(0).getAttribute(‘href’, 2) if you don’t want the absolute URI.
