I have a major issue with jstree in IE 8/9
The loading message continually displays when trying to 
load a tree. The treee does not load.
I am loading xml tree data from a file

using jquery v1.6.1  (tried using lower version as well)
using jsTree 1.0-rc3

The tree loads in FireFox/Chrome etc....
The tree does not load in IE9
The tree does load in IE 8 but I get the following error
Line: 17
Error: Object doesn't support property or method 'toLowerCase'
when selecting a node

Really could use a quick fix as a customer is try to your the website

Also, here is the code for loading my tree.
   $("#mytree").jstree({
                "core": { "initially_open": ["root"] },
                "xml_data": {
                    "ajax": { "url": "_docs/menubuilder.xml" },
                    "xsl": "nest"
                },                               

                "plugins": ["themes", "xml_data", "ui", "crrm", "dnd"]
            });

Yea!  I implemented the following solution found in one of the threads

$.vakata.xslt = function (xml, xsl, callback) {
        var rs = "", xm, xs, processor, support;
        if(window.ActiveXObject) {      
            var xslt = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XSLTemplate");
            var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument");
            var xslDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument");
            xmlDoc.loadXML(xml);
            xslDoc.loadXML(xsl);
            xslt.stylesheet = xslDoc;
            var xslProc = xslt.createProcessor();
            xslProc.input = xmlDoc;
            xslProc.transform();
            callback.call(null, xslProc.output);

            return true;
        }

This fixed the IE8 issue but still get a 
Error: Object doesn't support property or method 'toLowerCase'
when mousing over tree
