I solved this by making a gut call and loaded up the JQuery 1.4a Alpha release, it seems to have solve a myriad of IE Issues.

If #AP_PONum is in the DOM when you bind the event handler, then you shouldn't need live. It's only one element, so there shouldn't be a performance hit either if you just use bind. The only reason .bind() wouldn't work is if #AP_PONum isn't in the DOM when you call it (or if you later remove #AP_PONum and then add an element with id="AP_PONum" later). Given those caveats, this should work: $("#AP_PONum").bind("change", function(){ ap_po = $(this).val(); $("#content-box") .load("webapps/finished_jewelry/PurReq/display/dsp_addPurchaseRequest.cfm?po Num="+ap_po); }); If that still doesn't work for you, we'd be able to help more effectively if we could see if a test page somewhere. --Karl ____________ Karl Swedberg www.englishrules.com www.learningjquery.com On Dec 14, 2009, at 9:41 AM, Scott Stewart wrote: "working" and "supported" are two different animals This is true... Back to my particular anomaly... I just replaced the "live" call with a "bind" call, and now there's nothing in Firefox either.. I'm using the Admintasia template (http://www.admintasia.com). Because of the way this is set up (or the way that I'm calling things) I've had to use the live function to get things to work. I think I'm right in assuming that the "live" function keeps the Ajax events alive... So is there a way to get around this? I can always add a submit button to every dropdown I'm using but that would kind of defeat the purpose. -----Original Message----- From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:jquery...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of MorningZ Sent: Monday, December 14, 2009 9:10 AM To: jQuery (English) Subject: [jQuery] Re: load() function and IE8 "But if it's not supported then why would it work in Firefox?

I have this piece of code $("#AP_PONum").live("change", function(){ ap_po = $("option:selected",this).val(); $("#content-box").load("webapps/finished_jewelry/PurReq/display/ dsp_addPurchaseRequest.cfm?poNum="+ap_po); }); which works like a champ in firefox. it's called from a drop down grabs the ColdFusion template and load it in a div called content-box. This does nothing in IE8, no error, no load, no love.. nothing any ideas on how to work around this?
