IE8 crashes on Windows 7

[bradly]

Hello,

Internet Explorer 8 crashes on Windows 7 when using jQuery UI. I've tested IE 8 on Windows XP and I've tested IE 9 on Windows 7 and those both works. Just IE 8 and Windows 7 is having the issue. I've tested on multiple computers and it has occurred in all IE8 Windows 7 environments.

To recreate you can go to ​http://jqueryui.com/accordion/ or ​http://jqueryui.com/autocomplete or ​http://jqueryui.com/draggable/ with IE 8 on Window 7 and you will see a popup saying "Internet Explorer has stopper working"

You can also recreate using browserstack.com with IE8 and Windows 7.

Hi bradly,

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the jQuery UI project. I cannot recreate this in IE8 on Windows 7 via BrowserStack. I can give it a shot on a true IE8 install tomorrow.

Are you still seeing these issues? Are you doing anything on these pages or does the error just occur on load?

Thanks.
