WP-Polls and Cufon conflict in IE

  • I’m running both cufon and wp-polls on my site.
    Both are working wonderfully in all browsers except for IE (all versions).

    The issue is that the polls will not submit, nor is one able to view results in IE when cufon is activated.

    If i deactivate cufon, the polls work in all browsers, but I need cufon.

    Has anyone had any luck resolving this issue?
    Help please.

    also – none of the cufon selectors are pointing to the wp-polls components … so that shouldn’t be causing the issue …

    I’m in the same boat…
    I need both and still haven’t found a way to solve the problem.

    I am right there with you guys. I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, deactivating, reactivating… same results as you.

    I had this problem myself and made a quick fix.

    Open plugins/wp-polls/poll-js.js and use a JS beautifier (like in TextMate) to uncompress it and change line 17 from:

    jQuery("#polls_form_" + poll_id + " :checkbox, #polls_form_" + poll_id + " :radio").each(function(b) {

    to:

    jQuery("#polls_form_" + poll_id + " input[type=checkbox], #polls_form_" + poll_id + " input[type=radio]").each(function(b) {

    I may not be 100% accurate, but to try and explain… the problem occurs due to Cufon using VML to render text, which in IE only has certain attributes associated to each tag. If a script, in this case, jQuery, tries to check one of these invalid attributes, IE will throw an error. It usually always comes down to checking type, which I believe doesn’t exist for vml:image or vml:group.

    Hi, I didn’t have cufon installed but I waas having problems with IE.
    This solution worked great!!!
    Thanks a lot
