textillate ie7 bugs

I am not asking for support for the animations, but the library itself causes a js error when loaded in compatibility mode, ie7 standards in IE10. The bulk of it seems its from using .in as an object property since it is a reserved javascript keyword. Even if i change the .in to ['in'], http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.js seems to have an issue loading at line 2582 saying member not found. Would be great to clean up the code and address these issues to at least make it load in older browsers. Thanks.

Interesting, I definitely would have thought ['in'] would work. Obviously I did not do much testing in older browsers but I agree it should be able to load the library.

If I have time this weekend I'll try and submit a pull request.

This seems to still be an issue. I tested it in IE8. Wasn't working.

To get around it, I changed the defaults in jquery.textillate.js to my custom options. This prevented me from having to call 'in' in the jquery block of my document.

Having same issue in IE8 with "in". Any chances next release coming soon?

Chiming in (!) here to say you can change in to _in as suggested. In your call code, reference _in: and in the textillate.js itself, go to line 149 (for me) and see:

if (isInEffect(options.in.effect)) {

Yes, change .in. to ._in. there.

Two lines down, do it again. And finally, animateChars($chars, options.in, function () {

As well. Very quick change.
