jQuery getJSON not working on Internet Explorer 11 - getjson

Question

I have a site that uses jQuery within the Codeigniter framework. It works perfectly in both Firefox and Chrome. However in IE the getJSON does not work, jQuery load() works but not getJSON. Ive tried the $.ajaxSetup{{cache:false}} among others but no joy.

Answer 1

Right then, it seems that IE had a problem with the js file. It does not like the fact I have the global 'url' variable outside of all functions. So I had to name this variable within the (document).ready(function{}). Also I had the ajaxSuccess and ajaxError functions operating on their own, they also needed to be brought within the (document).ready function, merely naming the url variable inside them individually did not work. Basically everything needs to be wrapped in one main function. this link here inspired the solution http://patrickgibson.com/news/andsuch/000202.php
$(document).ready(function(){
var url="../../index.php/cslcontrol/";
//$.ajaxSetup({ global: true });
//hide divs with the class '.views' except the one with id of 'home'
$(".views:not('#home')").hide();
//function that ensures only the div related to the selected menubar icon is dislayed
$("li a[href]").click(function(){
//storing the value of the clicked list a href
var tabVal=$(this).attr('value');
//showing a div whose div name is the same as the value of the selected list ahref
$("#"+tabVal).show();
//keeping the other divs hidden
$(".views[id!="+tabVal+"]").hide();
});
$("#home_text").load("css/history.html #home_txt");
$("#eighties_text").load("images/Eighties_seasons.html h1, p");
$("#nineties_text").load("images/Nineties_seasons.html h1, p");
//making a ajax call to fill the champions table
$.getJSON(url+"titleWin", function(data){
$.each(data, function(){
$("#senior_champions").append("<tr><td>"+ this["Season"] + "</td><td>"+ this["Winner"] + "</td><td>" + this["Runner up"] + "</td><td>"+ this["Play off"] + "</td></tr>");
});
});
//making a ajax call to fill the senior cup table
$.getJSON(url+"senCup", function(data){
$.each(data, function(){
$("#senior_cup_finals").append("<tr><td>"+ this["Season"] + "</td><td>"+ this["Winner"] + "</td><td>" + this["Score"] + "</td><td>"+ this["Runner-up"] + "</td></tr>");

var crests = [];

crests.push("<img src=\"images/"+this["Image"]+"\" alt=\""+this["Image"]+"\" title=\""+this["Club"]+"\"/>");

$("#pix1").html(crests.slice(0, 5));

Try to use Knockout binding and method ko.toJS in your view model js.
