Question

I’ve read a few articles on here about people having issues with jQuery post in IE 9 and 8. I’ve followed the reccomendatinos and still can’t fix the issue.

The code is a simple video tracker, and for some reason, does not work in any version of IE.

Any ideas?

<script>
    $(document).ready(function () { 

        var href = jQuery(location).attr('href');
        var url = jQuery(this).attr('title');
        var account = "parts_survey"; // Account name, no spaces
        jQuery.post("http://mydomain.com/tracking/vt.php", { title: url, video_url: href, account: account } );
    });
</script>

Answer 1

“Due to browser security restrictions, most “Ajax” requests are subject to the same origin policy; the request can not successfully retrieve data from a different domain, subdomain, or protocol.”

Try $.post("/tracking/vt.php", { title: url, video_url: href, account: account } );

For cross domain requests have a look at $.getJSON
