Question

So I have an extremely simple $.post function that works perfectly in all the normal browsers. But in IE (I tested 7 & 8) it just doesn’t happen.

console.log('1');

$.post('home.php', {'a':'b'}, function(data){

    console.log('2');

});

When I run this in FireFox, my Firebug console shows 1, then 2.
Internet Explorer doesn’t get past 1. I’ve had problems before where it thinks it’s cross-browser because of the absence of www but that’s not the case.

I don’t see where it could be going wrong.

Also changing input to { a:'b' } doesn’t work so it can’t be the variables (you’d think).

EDIT: Simplified to simpler not-working version

EDIT:

There seems to be going something wrong with the variables, when I change this:

$.post('home.php', {'a':'b'}, function(data){

to

$.post('home.php', function(data){

It works..

Answer 1

Do you have the debug console visible in IE? console.log() will prevent the rest of the script from running on IE if the console isn’t visible.
