ok, i think i need to kick it...
first i removed the $(function() { string to get it working again.
then it works in firefox but still not in IE.
The error message (object expected) seems to have something to do with jquery and the f$ thing...
i then figured out that i need to include two versions of jquery...
After inserting the additional version of jquery
<script src=http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.2.6/jquery.min.js"></script>
and
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
at least the playlist is now displayed correctly, but clicking on the entries highlights them all and the player is still not working.
this whole thing is unpredictable to me... Spending 6 hours of getting it done in the IE - without success - is not an advantage in productivity.
Having two versions of jquery in the site don't feels reliable as well. Does'nt that produce conflicts?
The site where i planned to include that player includes jquery as well... So i kicked the lines above. Same result.
It's confluence who includes:
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js" ></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-compatibility.js" ></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.dimensions.js" ></script>
