Question

I’m running a click trigger when the page loads to show an iframe of prettyPhoto. However the trigger does not run unless i use the developer tools for IE 9.
It runs fine in Google.

Basically it searches the url string for a target text after #. If the text is there, then it will trigger the handler. Any ideas? My url # is – http://www.nvcc.edu/home/ssuh/wall3/#nessie-vanta

   <script>
    var $ = jQuery.noConflict();
    jQuery(window).load(function(){

$('#wall1').wallmasonry({});
    $("a[rel^='test']").prettyPhoto({deeplinking:false, 
                                              iframe_markup: '<iframe src ="{path}" width="{width}" height="{height}" frameborder="no" scrolling="no"></iframe>'}
                                       );

var target = window.location.href.split('#')[1];

    if (target == 'nessie-vanta') { 

   console.log("tester hit");
   $('a#nessie-vanta').trigger('click');
   alert("nessie");
   };

   })
  </script>

It is because of console.log which is not supported by IE. In IE it throws error at that line and breaks the further javascript execution.

Try something like this

   if (target == 'nessie-vanta') { 
      if(window['console'] !== undefined){
         console.log("tester hit");
      }
      $('a#nessie-vanta').trigger('click');
      alert("nessie");
   }
