[jQuery] Bug 164 Issues was: Re: I have a problem with XPATH on IE6 with ajax response jQuery 1.0.2

John,

I see that Bug #164 has closed. I just downloaded the current Bug and 
this does not fix the problem I am having. To test it hit:
   http://imaptools.com:8081/maps/demo.html?address=01863
and double click on the map.

see /js/imaptools-demo.js line: 229

Maybe I should be using different functions to do this, I'm open to 
suggestions, but this works fine in FF.

Thanks,
   -Steve
