title: Chosen jQuery widget doesn't work in Compatibility View of IE8
body: <p>I'm using the Chosen jQuery widget from <a href="http://harvesthq.github.com/chosen/" rel="noreferrer">http://harvesthq.github.com/chosen/</a>. It works well in my application in most browsers but it will not work in IE8 under 'Compatibility View'. This presents a problem for me because on my company's intranet <strong>Compatibility View</strong> is default for intranet sites. You can test my issue by going to the link above and switching to Compatibility View in IE. </p>
  
  <p>The reason I haven't completely given up on it is because on this page <a href="http://davidwalsh.name/dw-content/jquery-chosen.php" rel="noreferrer">http://davidwalsh.name/dw-content/jquery-chosen.php</a> someone gets it to work in Compatibility View in IE (see for yourself).</p>
  
  <p>I'm using jQuery 1.6.2 and the Chosen 0.9.5. Windows XP and IE 8.0.6001 under Compatibility View. It works fine if I switch the Browser Mode to IE8 in Dev tools but I don't want every user to have to do that. Has anyone used this plugin before and got it to work under Compatibility Mode in IE8?</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;    $("#groupsList").data("placeholder", "Select Groups").chosen();&lt;/script&gt;
