Question

I get this syntax error on the eval line in this code when running IE. This works perfectly fine in both Chrome and Firefox, just not IE.

$(document).ready (function () {
    $.ajax({
        url: 'scripts/isLoggedIn.php',
        success: function (tmp) {
            data = eval ('('+tmp+')');
            if (data.login=='OK') {
                $('#main').load ('scripts/loginok.php');
                $('#menu').show("slow");
            }
        }
    });
});

Please help me understand this problem

Use the getJSON method that parses the data automatically:

$(document).ready (function () {
  $.getJSON('scripts/isLoggedIn.php',
    function (data) {
      if (data.login=='OK') {
        $('#main').load ('scripts/loginok.php');
        $('#menu').show("slow");
      }
    }
  );
});
