Why does IE6 give an "expected Identifier error" when using jQuery $.fn

I keep getting an expected identifier error at this line in my code =/

   $.fn.myPlugin = $.myPlugin;

any idea why thi开发者_运维技巧s might be happening?

Actually I just found the answer here:

Some coffees later I found the offending code was:

var class = $(this).parent().attr('class');

Yep, class seems to be a reserved word in Internet Explorer, thanks again Microsoft for making web developers' lives so difficult.

I just changed the variable name to fix the error, something like this:

var tabClass = $(this).parent().attr('class');
