I was working on a project that allows the users to create a list of names in their account. They could then take a name from the global list and drag it to a recipients list to send a mass email to everyone in that list. To accomplish this task and make it look good I decided to go with the great JQuery UI library’s (draggable and sortable to b specific).

Disappearing JSTree when using Themeroller
I am currently working on a project that utilizes a MySQL Nested Folder database design and a JQuery component called JSTree. The implementation actually works great. The system allows users to create “folders” for content and provides the ability to Drag and Drop to move folders, create new folders and sub-folders, etc.
After entering the testing phase of the project we discovered that the folder tree view, powered by JSTree, was not working. The tree would load on the page and then disappear. I spent a solid 12 hours trying to debug what the issue was because it works flawlessly in IE8, IE9, Fire Fox, Chrome, Safari, and Opera. This problem seemed to be isolated to IE7 only. I flipped flopped between potential causes several times — could it be a Javascript issue? could it be a CSS issue? could it be both?
