Question

I have a problem with an AJAX call in JQuery. It works on Chrome, FF, and Safari, but not IE. In fact in IE nothing happens at all, no errors, no data loaded.

Here is the code:

    $(document).ready(function() {

     $.ajaxSetup({ cache: false });

        $.get("ShoppingCart2.aspx", { }, function(data) {
           //query the jq object for the values

        alert(data);       
        alert($(data).find('#Items').text());


        var intI = parseInt(($(data).find('#Items').html()));

With the alert data I find all the data from the page I am making a call from, but unfortunately my data.find methods pull up null for IE. I’m not sure if it’s the code or the browser, but I am really stuck. Thank you for the help.

Edit: I did add in the cache: false command, but still I have no luck. I really cannot understand why this won’t work in IE.

Well I was unable to make the .find part of the .get work in internet explorer, but I did find a way to get the ajax information I needed:

var information = $.ajax({ type: “GET”, dataType: “html”, url: “ShoppingCart2.aspx”, data: querystring, async: false }).responseText + ” “;

This passes a query string to the website then gets information from the website back into one big string. I then
manipulated that string to get what I needed. Unfortunately it is a lot slower than the .get command, but it is a fix.

Thanks for the help everyone!
