Datatables specific jquery not working in Internet Explorer 8 (solved)

haqthat

I've searched high and low and can't seem to figure out why my datatable specific jquery will not work in IE8.
Sorting, search, pagination etc...
It works in Chrome, FF, and IE9.


I'm basically running the zero config.

Here is my head:
[code]






$(document).ready(function() {
$('#employee_table').dataTable();
} );

[/code]

I've tried removing all the other js scripts from the head (thinking there was some conflict) and still doesn't work.
I've also tried using the jquery that ships with datatables instead of the google 1.9.1, that doesn't work either.

Chrome, FF, IE9 all work fine.....I'm stumped.

If you'd like to take a look, here's the link: login required.

The HTML isn't valid. There is a `` in the table - I wonder if that is what is upsetting IE8? Aside from that, it looks like it should work to me!

Oh...my...goodness....

Alan! That was it. I simply can't believe that was it.
Thank you so much, I was banging my head against the wall for a day now.

Much appreciated! Thanks for all your hard work!
