jquery problem in ie7

Since I'm a newbie to both Umbraco and jQuery, I was really proud I managed to develop some simple but useful scripts using jQuery in Umbraco. I just thought everything was working fine until I tested my Umbraco website in IE7. Though it all works perfectly in IE8, IE7 has this little issue I can't figure out:

I put some jQuery on some paragraphs in the main contentfield, but everytime I click the tab in the navbar to load this page, the main contentfield suddenly includes not only these adjusted paragraphs but the content of the footer too. As soon as I refresh the page, everything is solved and looks great again.

So what am I to do? I mean, should I insert a 'double refresh' on this page or something?

I hope you guys can help me out, thanks in advance!

A double refresh will only mask the error - better to try and resolve it. Any chance of a URL to problem page or including the script that is having the problem

This is how it shows up BEFORE refreshing IE7:

And this is how it SHOULD be (and how it's shown after refreshing):

I just don't use IE7 anymore so instead I'll be using IE8+.

Problem solved ;-)
