IE5 scripting error

Description

I have already seen #96 request for IE5 plugin.

Well there is quite a big chunk of people (at least in goverment agencies in Greece) that still have Win98 and of course IE5 installed by default.

I don't expect a plugin but I have noticed that even when trying to access jquery.com there is a javascript error talking about not recognizing the fn.apply method on line 330 on jquery-latest.js.

I don't expect a plugin but just a way for IE5 browsers not to see the code at all, how do we solve this?

Don't know if it helps but putting the code from #96 in my jquery.js suppreses all the javascript errors.

In that case, you should load the mentioned code before jQuery on your page. This isn't something that jQuery can or wants to handle.

The problem with IE5 is most of all the lack of support for apply, on which jQuery relies very heavily. Unless some miracles happens, this won't change in the future.
