Question

I’m playing around with a JQuery plugin called JRumble: http://jackrugile.com/jrumble/

I setup a simple fiddle to test: http://jsfiddle.net/phillipkregg/4LP65/6/

You can see that the plugin is working fine in Chrome and Firefox, but on IE9 I am getting some errors.

Took a screenshot of the IE Developers tool to show what it is referring to:

I copied the text in the console just in case that image is hard to read:

HTML1115: X-UA-Compatible META tag ('IE=EmulateIE7') ignored because document mode is already finalized.

SEC7112: Script from https://raw.github.com/jackrugile/jRumble/master/demo/js/jquery.jrumble.1.3.min.js was blocked due to mime type mismatch 
show
SCRIPT438: Object doesn't support property or method 'jrumble' 
show, line 26 character 2

When I looked up issues with Object doesn't support property or method 'jrumble' , some of the solutions suggested that this can be caused by an id or class name that is the same as a JavaScript variable name. However, there are no conflicting names in my simple example and it is still not working in IE.

Just from looking at the console, it seems the issue might be a mime-type mismatch that is preventing JRumble from being seen by IE.

Is this indeed the problem? Does anyone know how to go about getting around this issue?

Thanks!

To further troubleshoot this, go to the Network tab, start capturing, then reload the page. Find the script and go to its detailed view. Check the content-type response header and see what it is.

This problem can be circumvented by serving the file from your own server with the correct headers.
