jQuery $.ajax Not Working in IE8 but it works on FireFox & Chrome

Question

I have the following ajax call which works perfectly in Firefox and Chrome but not IE:

function getAJAXdates( startDate, numberOfNights, opts ) {

    var mo         


        

Answer 1

I would comment out the contentType and add dataType: "json"

from http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/

dataType: The type of data that you're expecting back from the server.

contentType: When sending data to the server, use this content-type.

you are specifying that you are sending json, but you are not - maybe this is the issue?
