Question

I have an MVC grid which is rendered in by a json call on page load.
On clicking any tag of Grid I need to refresh this grid.
So I wrote this javascript.

$("#SearchGrid a").live("click", function (event) {
    var link = event.currentTarget.attributes[0].childNodes[0].wholeText;
    $("#SearchGrid").load(link);
    return (false);
});

Its working fine with IE9 and other browsers. But I need to make it workable on IE8.
In IE8 its not loading the grid in same div, instead it redirects it to a new page, containing just the grid which is return from json call.

Try this. It uses the attribute href directly instead of your IE proprietary code

$("#SearchGrid a").live("click", function () {
    var link = $(this).attr('href');
    $('#SearchGrid').load(link);
    return false;
}
