The below Jquery script doesnt work with IE 9 . Any idea why ?

It gets the max width of the label and aligns the textboxs in line on the form.This works great in Chrome and FF but not in IE9.

JavaScript

$(document).ready(function () {
           var max = 0
           $('div.align').each(function () {
               $(this).find('label').each(function () {
                   width = $(this).width()
                   if (width > max) {
                       max = width
                   }
               });
               $(this).find('label').width(max);
               max = 0
           });
       });

I know IE has always had issues with width. I can't remember off hand but it either includes borders or doesn't include borders in the width. Just put a breakpoint and see what the value is and you may have to put a condition in for IE.

Thanks will try that.

Yes in quirks mode IE9's box model is different than the W3C box model. Thus in quirks mode IE width becomes content width + 2 * border-width + 2 * padding, Which is as per w3c model is the content width. Please see following article on Wikipedia. As a precaution you may want to output following meta tag so that IE 9 always uses Document Mode as IE 9 Standard & Browser Mode as IE 9.

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge"></meta>

+5 on the details.

Thanks I have added the meta tag. In my case IE in quirks mode executed the above jquery perfectly, but in IE9 Standard its doest work. I have stepped through the debugger and when it gets out of the loop. this line returns max=0, wonder why that is.?
<pre lang="Javascript">
$(this).find('label').width(max);
</pre>

Try changing name of the width variable to something like intWidth as shown below.

$(document).ready(function () {
var max = 0
$('div.align').each(function () {
$(this).find('label').each(function () {
var intWidth = $(this).width()
if (intWidth > max) {
max = intWidth
}
});
$(this).find('label').width(max);
max = 0
});
});
