Hello All,

I have this Jquery code

(function($){

$.expr[':'].linkingToImage = function(elem, index, match){
    // This will return true if the specified attribute contains a valid link to an image:
    return !! ($(elem).attr(match[3]) && $(elem).attr(match[3]).match(/\.(gif|jpe?g|png|bmp)$/i));
};

$.fn.imgPreview = function(userDefinedSettings){

    var s = $.extend({

        /* DEFAULTS */

        // CSS to be applied to image:
        imgCSS: {},
        // Distance between cursor and preview:
        distanceFromCursor: {top:2, left:2},
        // Boolean, whether or not to preload images:
        preloadImages: true,
        // Callback: run when link is hovered: container is shown:
        onShow: function(){},
        // Callback: container is hidden:
        onHide: function(){},
        // Callback: Run when image within container has loaded:
        onLoad: function(){},
        // ID to give to container (for CSS styling):
        containerID: 'imgPreviewContainer',
        // Class to be given to container while image is loading:
        containerLoadingClass: 'loading',
        // Prefix (if using thumbnails), e.g. 'thumb_'
        thumbPrefix: '',
        // Where to retrieve the image from:
        srcAttr: 'rel'

    }, userDefinedSettings),

    $container = $('<div/>').attr('id', s.containerID)
                    .append('<img/>').hide()
                    .css('position','absolute')
                    .appendTo('body'),

    $img = $('img', $container).css(s.imgCSS),

    // Get all valid elements (linking to images / ATTR with image link):
    $collection = this.filter(':linkingToImage(' + s.srcAttr + ')');

    // Re-usable means to add prefix (from setting):
    function addPrefix(src) {
        return src.replace(/(\/?)([^\/]+)$/,'$1' + s.thumbPrefix + '$2');
    }

    if (s.preloadImages) {
        (function(i){
            var tempIMG = new Image(),
                callee = arguments.callee;
            tempIMG.src = addPrefix($($collection[i]).attr(s.srcAttr));
            tempIMG.onload = function(){
                $collection[i + 1] && callee(i + 1);
            };
        })(0);
    }

    $collection
        .mousemove(function(e){

            $container.css({
                top: e.pageY + s.distanceFromCursor.top + 'px',
                left: e.pageX + s.distanceFromCursor.left + 'px'
            });

        })
        .hover(function(){

            var link = this;
            $container
                .addClass(s.containerLoadingClass)
                .show();
            $img
                .load(function(){
                    $container.removeClass(s.containerLoadingClass);
                    $img.show();
                    s.onLoad.call($img[0], link);
                })
                .attr( 'src' , addPrefix($(link).attr(s.srcAttr)) );
            s.onShow.call($container[0], link);

        }, function(){

            $container.hide();
            $img.unbind('load').attr('src','').hide();
            s.onHide.call($container[0], this);

        });

    // Return full selection, not $collection!
    return this;

};

})(jQuery);

It works perfectly in all browsers apart from IE, which it does nothing, no errors, no clues? I have a funny feeling IE doesn't support attr? Can anyone offer any advice?
