@ Acorn:

Egg, yo0u have mixed secure and insecure resources. Try changing <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.min.js"></script> to https. Try with a later jQuery version too.

How simple! Bang my head on the keyboard !!!!. In the past browsers would give a warning of https & http content being used but I never received any in this case.

I was just stumped why it rendered correctly on the preview but not when published but of course this was the cause as you cleverly pointed out.

I'm 77 now. Saw the Mona Lisa back at the Worlds Fair in New York in what, 1964? It had just been cleaned, and I still remember how blue the sky was, without the old yellowed layers of varnish. Vivid! Found out since that blue paint was very expensive, ground up lapis lazuli blue rocks from Afghanistan, a dangerous place far away from Italy. And that paint was sometimes called ultramarine, meaning beyond the sea. Even though the Mona Lisa sky blue is more of a cobalt blue, a cerulean blue. Still, only rich folks, and the church, could afford those blue skies.
Here in my Tombstone, Arizona Territory, we have those deep blue skies most every day, as it's a military no-fly zone-- cleaner air than DaVinci had, back when. Sweet water, too!
