title: Jquery addClass function fails in IE7 for td element
body: <p>For the following HTML:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;td class="width2 padLeft" id="loading_45"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the following JQuery:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('#loading_45').addClass('loading');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>With the following css definition:</p>
  
  <pre><code>td.loading
  {
      background-image:url("../images/icon_loading_circle.gif");
      background-position:left center;
      background-repeat:no-repeat;
      height:auto; 
      position:absolute;
      text-align:center;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>does not cause the background-image to appear in IE7 (works fine in FF)</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong?</p>
  
  <p>As Pointy noted the problem was in the css the position:absolute; definition should be removed
  Thanks all for answering so fast</p>
