When I load jquery using:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

it works on IE9, firefox, chrome, safari but not IE8. I tried the developer/debugger tools but still don’t understand why this is an issue.

This is the character code jquery supposedly has error on: 32039.
On that line there is such function:

G=function(a){
   var b=F.exec(a);
   b&&(b[1]=(b[1]||"").toLowerCase(),b[3]=b[3]&&new RegExp("(?:^|\\s)"+b[3]+"(?:\\s|$)"));
   return b
}

Anyone came across this issue as well?

I am not calling jquery before it is loaded and I’m loading it inside the head tag.

This is a bug in jQuery 1.7.1 when used with SyntaxHighlighter

So you have to upgrade jQuery to 1.7.2 and everything will be working fine.
