Answer 1

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 :)
