jQuery getScript issue in IE

Question

We have validation rules in an external JS file that is being called via jQuery getScript:

$.ajaxSetup({async:false});
$.getScript('scripts/validation/createPosting.js', function(){ checkFoapalPercentage(); });
$.ajaxSetup({async:true});

The script works fine in all other browsers (Firefox, Chrome, and Safari).

Any idea why we're getting a Javascript error (Object expected) on a line that's referencing a method in the external JS file?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Your question doesn't have nearly enough info in it ... Where is checkFoapalPercentage defined (in createPosting.js)? What does it return? Which line is throwing the error?

I think you mean checkFoapalPercentage is defined in createPosting.js, in which case the error could be because IE is (correctly) trying to refer to an as-yet-undefined function.

If you post some more info, I'll give it a whirl.
