 * It seams SyntaxHighlighter Evolved combined with any plugins using jQuery 1.7.1
   will return JavaScript errors (tested on IE 8, but reported for all IE version.)
   `
   Message: 'null' is null or not an object`
 * Seems to be related to the XRegExp library;
    further readying here [http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/10961](http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/10961)
 * a simple fix for the XRegExp library can be found here

 * Has there been any official fix to this? I am a big fan of Syntax Highlighter
   Evolved for posting source codes on my blog. I will rather download and upload
   the js files until anything official is released.
