I've been developing a content management system over the past 5 months. Recently I began implementing AJAX and other misc. javascript into some pages.
I was mainly developing and debugging using Firefox and Chrome (because my IE 7 stopped working ;-D about a year ago). I'm running a WAMP server on Windows XP, and view my site through http://localhost . Everything is fine and dandy.
So today, I go on a browser binge (because my CMS is almost complete) to test compatibility and display (XHTML 1.0 Transitional). I tested and viewed my site in FF 3.0, Chrome Beta, Opera 9.6, Safari 3.2. I also downloaded the new IE 8, and was surprised at how well it ran and rendered my CMS, and tweaked my layout a bit to display perfect across all of them.
One major problem: IE 8 won't run my javascript. I searched for hours online trying to figure out if it was a "localhost" issue, but because I've been out of the IE loop for the last year, I couldn't find anything that actually helped.
For reference: The javascript I am using between the old and new version of the CMS works fine in IE 8 (that is, if I go to the live version, it loads up fine). The rest of the javascript is mainly AJAX and stored in separate .js files. Inline JS [e.g. javascript:alert(1) ] code works fine for "localhost" in IE 8, but otherwise I get nasty "Object Expected" errors. I want to test these AJAX applications in IE8 because most of the folks that are going to be using this CMS will most likely be using IE8.
Anyone have any ideas regarding this matter? Thanks.
