JQuery masked input plugin does not work on IE7

Question

I'm using Jquery Masked input plugin http://digitalbush.com/projects/masked-input-plugin/

According to the changelog it should support IE7

When when trying to use it on IE7 It's does not work and I'm getting the following error in IE debugger

Object doesn't support property or method 'mask'

My code :

$("#" + "someid").mask(someformat);

The same code work on all other browsers including IE8 and above.

@john have you tried with latest jQuery 1.9+? 1.3 is quite older one. — Jai, Apr 15 '13 at 05:51
@Jai - I can't update the Jquery version at the moment since all the project I'm working on is based on version 1.3 — john Smith, Apr 15 '13 at 05:53
I have checked the following code in IE7 mode in IE8, it works fine http://jsfiddle.net/arjuncc/SRgGE/ — arjuncc, Apr 15 '13 at 05:56
I also tested it , it is working But I need IE7 and not mode IE8 — john Smith, Apr 15 '13 at 06:05

For IE7 try to use version 1.2.2 of masked-input https://zk-sample-code.googlecode.com/svn-history/r27/trunk/WebContent/samples/sam/inputbox/js/jquery.maskedinput-1.2.2.js

$(function () {
   $("[name='in1']").mask("99/99/9999");
   $("[name='in2']").mask("99-99-99");  
});

Error in script jquery.maskedinput.js!

now:

$.mask = {
    //Predefined character definitions
    definitions: {
        '9': "[0-9]",
        'a': "[A-Za-z]",
        '*': "[A-Za-z0-9]"
    },
    dataName: "rawMaskFn",
    placeholder: '_',
};

need:

$.mask = {
    //Predefined character definitions
    definitions: {
        '9': "[0-9]",
        'a': "[A-Za-z]",
        '*': "[A-Za-z0-9]"
    },
    dataName: "rawMaskFn",
    placeholder: '_'
};

work on IE7!
