Holds with IE on Monographic Parts Not Marking Required Field Red

When a hold is attempted using IE browser for a monographic part and no monographic part is selected the dropdown list does not turn red as it does with the Staff Client and the OPAC in Firefox.

The red highlight is really helpful since the error message will likely be meaningless to the average user. Since we have no control over what browsers people use, it would be great if the red box appeared in IE as well.

The CSS involved is colors.css, which contains:

      .parts-warning { border: 2px solid red; }

The question is, why doesn't IE accept this? I think, maybe, that IE isn't responding to the following, from holds.js:

     addCSSClass($('holds_parts_selector'), 'parts-warning');

which appears when the user is prompted to select a part.

Perhaps this is going to fall under "Won't Fix" since we're phasing JSPAC? FWIW, TPAC does not style the part hold box at all. It simply chooses the first part in the dropdown as the default.

Ran across this and marked won't fix as it's for JSPac.
