jQuery .ajax method in IE7 & IE6 not working but working fine in Firefox

ajax, internet-explorer-6, internet-explorer-7, jquery

Solution

I accidentally worked out what the issue was.

The link referenced in this variable:

var $tabValue = $(this).attr('href');

Had a hash value on the end like so:

https://bupacouk.bwa.local.internal.bupa.co.uk/cash-plan-quote/quoteAction.do?getBenefitLevelDetails=getBenefitLevelDetails&productPolicyId=7850#a1

This cause the AJAX to fall over in bothe versions of IE.

Using the following code:

var $withoutHash = $tabValue.substr(0,$tabValue.indexOf('#'));

Getrs rid of it and it now works :)

Problem

This relates to my previous post: jQuery .load Method causing page refresh AJAX I changed my implmentation to use the .ajax method instead of .load and it works fine in Firefox but not in IE7 or IE6: ``` $('ul#coverTabs > li > a').live('click', function(event) { // Find href of current tab var $tabValue = $(this).attr('href'); $.ajax({ type: "GET", cache: false, dataType: "html", url: $(this).attr('href'), success: function(data){ $(data).find('.benefitWrap').each(function(){ var $benefitWrap = $(this).html(); $('.benefitWrap').replaceWith($('<div class="benefitWrap">' + $benefitWrap + '</div>')); }); } }); event.preventDefault(); }); ``` This is killing me as it has taken ages to get this far. Any ideas where i am going wrong?
