Question

I have a script which allows to display search results with the Bing API, example: JsFiddle

If you type something in, you will get two results. The var WebOffset allows to have results moving up in Total results. If the count for instance is 2 (as it is now) by setting WebOffset=10 you will get two results after the first 10, so result 11 and 12. With this you can do a pagination like this:

$("li.pageli").live('click', function(){

WebOffset = "Web.Offset=" + $("a", this).html();

var v6 = $('#searchbox').val();
doSearch(v6); 

});

So based on the number of li.pageli a I can do a pagination. All was working well, then I noticed its not working in IE8.

So I was going to ask about this. However when I was setting up the example in JsFiddle I noticed it working there as well! Which is really strange because the exact same code is working for me on my desktop with Chrome/Firefox. So why is it not working in IE8 and JsFiddle?

Answer 1

I found out what the problem is…

Apparently ‘href’ should be written without spaces….So this is wrong:

<a href="#"> 20 </a>

And this is good:

<a href="#">20</a>

We all know that IE should be taken out in the woods and shot dead, but I find it strange that JsFiddle is also wired that way. Anyway case closed:)
